The dissertation main aims are as follows: 1)To demonstrate that genocidal tendencies in the human race are ancient, if not necessarily natural. Throughout recorded human history and in the archaeological record preceding it there have been instances of genocide. Genocidal acts appear as a constant tendency in the human race as a whole.2) To demonstrate that war is a necessary condition for genocide. There are many conditions and preconditions for genocide. However one stands out: war. It is the sine qua non of the genocidal condition. 3) To show that the Holocaust was intellectually prepared for through a mix of Darwinian, Nietzschean, and Volkisch ideology. The Holocaust is the most famous example of modern Genocide. The German case was an extreme expression of a general cultural trend of elimination of difference. 4) To show that the concept of "Utopia" played a part in the ideological construction and practical motivation in modern genocides. Various utopist visions drove the mass movements of the twentieth century. Fascism and Nazism were no exceptions. Utopist visions played a central role in the sacralization of the destruction of the "other".5) To demonstrate the restraining effect of the atomic bomb on great power rivalries and its further effects on global society as a whole. Many have asked what has kept the relative general global peace after the Second World War. The attempted answers have varied from the wildly optimistic "man has changed" to the more sober belief that new institutions and cultural practices have tamed man. This paper takes a more realist Hobbesian view and states that it is the monopoly of fear and the resultant impossibility of ultimate and sure conquest that has tamed mans greater demons. |
