Description
"Human nature includes both inclinations toward violence and inclinations toward peace – what Lincoln called 'the better angels of our nature' – and historical changes have increasingly favored our better angels." – Steven Pinker, author, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence has Declined
"Peace, as a primary goal, is dangerous because it implies that you’ll sacrifice any principle for the sake of it." – Robert D. Kaplan, author, The Revenge of Geography: What the Map Tells Us About Coming Conflicts and the Battle Against Fate
This will be a vigorous discussion between two leading thinkers in global affairs as they take on the subject of world peace, a core interest of Carnegie Council.
Joel Rosenthal, president of Carnegie Council, will moderate.
