Per Wikipedia Morgenthau's Scientific Man Versus Power Politics 1946 Argued Against An Overreliance On Science And Technology As Solutions To Political And Social Problems. The Book Presented A "Pessimistic View Of Human Nature" Centered On A Universal Lust For Power And The Inevitability Of Selfishness. Hans Joachim Morgenthau 1904 - 1980 Was A German-American Jurist And Political Scientist Who Was One Of The Major 20Th-Century Figures In The Study Of International Relations. Morgenthau's Works Belong To The Tradition Of Realism In International Relations Theory; He Is Usually Considered Among The Most Influential Realists Of The Post-World War Ii Period. Morgenthau Made Landmark Contributions To International Relations Theory And The Study Of International Law. In 1933 Morgenthau Published A Second Book In French La Notion Du "Politique" Which Was Translated Into English And Published In 2012 As The Concept Of The Political. In This Book Morgenthau Seeks To Articulate The Difference Between Legal Disputes Between Nations And Political Disputes Between Nations Or Other Litigants. The Questions Driving The Inquiry Are: I Who Holds Legal Power Over The Objects Or Concerns Being Disputed Ii In What Manner Can The Holder Of This Legal Power Be Changed Or Held Accountable Iii How Can A Dispute The Object Of Which Concerns A Legal Power Be Resolved And Iv In What Manner Will The Holder Of The Legal Power Be Protected In The Course Of Exercising That Power For Morgenthau The End Goal Of Any Legal System In This Context Is To "Ensure Justice And Peace". In His Work In The 1920S And 1930S Morgenthau Sought A "Functional Jurisprudence" An Alternative To Mainstream International Law. He Borrowed Ideas From Sigmund Freud Max Weber Roscoe Pound And Others. In 1940 Morgenthau Set Out A Research Program For Legal Functionalism In The Article "Positivism Functionalism And International Law". Francis Boyle Has Written That Morgenthau's Post-War Writings Perhaps Contributed To A "Break Between International Political Science And International Legal Studies."30 However Politics Among Nations Contains A Chapter On International Law And Morgenthau Remained An Active Contributor To The Subject Of The Relationship Between International Politics And International Law Until The End Of His Career.His Politics Among Nations First Published In 1948 Went Through Five Editions During His Lifetime And Was Widely Adopted As A Textbook In U.S. Universities. While Morgenthau Emphasized The Centrality Of Power And "The National Interest" The Subtitle Of Politics Among Nations-"The Struggle For Power And Peace"-Indicates His Concern Not Only With The Struggle For Power But Also With The Ways In Which It Is Limited By Ethical And Legal Norms. In Addition To His Books Morgenthau Wrote Widely About International Politics And U.S. Foreign Policy For General-Circulation Publications Such As The New Leader Commentary Worldview The New York Review Of Books And The New Republic. He Knew And Corresponded With Many Of The Leading Intellectuals And Writers Of His Era Such As Reinhold Niebuhr George F. Kennan Carl Schmitt And Hannah Arendt. At One Point In The Early Cold War Morgenthau Was A Consultant To The U.S. Department Of State When Kennan Headed Its Policy Planning Staff As Well As A Second Time During The Kennedy And Johnson Administrations Until He Was Dismissed By Johnson When He Began To Publicly Criticize American Policy In Vietnam. For Most Of His Career However Morgenthau Was Esteemed As An Academic Interpreter Of U.S. Foreign Policy. <br/> <br/> University Of Chicago Press hardcover
