On Aggression
Book • 1963
In this book, Konrad Lorenz examines the concept of aggression, defining it as the fighting instinct directed against members of the same species.
He delves into the evolutionary and instinctual roots of aggression, using examples from animal behavior to draw parallels with human aggression.
Lorenz discusses the adaptive consequences of aggression, such as territorial defense and the establishment of social hierarchies, and introduces his 'hydraulic' model of aggression.
The book has been both praised for its insightful descriptions of animal behavior and criticized for its extrapolations to human behavior.
