TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Wars and Rumors of Wars
A comment on my Ernst Troeltsch episode provoked me to thinking further about the wave of public enthusiasm that sometimes greets the outbreak of a war. In the case of the First World War, this wave of public enthusiasm has been given a name: the August Madness. How are we to understand the August Madness and those who participated in it?
Beyond the specifics of the First World War and the August Madness, public enthusiasm for war poses many conceptual problems. How and why does the individual respond to social contagion? Is it right to be enthusiastic for a just war? Why does public enthusiasm for war flag in longer conflicts? Ought measures to be taken to shape or modify public enthusiasm for war?
