According to some classical theorists, violence, conflict and war are deeply rooted in human nature, whereas for other theorists these social problems can eventually be eliminated through the application of reason and education to human affairs. In other words, for some theorists, war will continue to be an inescapable part of social life until we eventually destroy ourselves as a species; for other theorists, future wars can be averted through the rational reconstruction of the social order along the principles of social justice, liberty and equality. Discuss the different interpretations of the origins of war with reference to some of the relevant classical theorists, and provide your own observations and conclusions on this topic. Please refer to Pareto and Simmel.
