On Aggression

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Konrad Lorenz in his influential work, On Aggression. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 1968, this second edition spans 304 pages and delves into the complex nature of aggression in both animals and humans. Lorenz, a pioneering figure in animal behavior, provides meticulous observations that spark critical discussions and debates. While his detailed descriptions of animal behavior are widely respected, it is his bold extrapolations to human aggression that have stirred controversy and led to significant statements, including one adopted by UNESCO in 1989. This book is essential reading for those interested in psychology, animal behavior, and the intricate connections between species. Explore the layers of aggression through Lorenz's lens and gain a deeper understanding of this fundamental aspect of life.
