CHAPTER

Philosophy, War, and Manipulation

This chapter critically examines the impact of French philosophers like Rousseau and Voltaire on contemporary society, linking their ideologies to broader manipulative forces at play. The discussion transitions to the implications of warfare, particularly World War II, exploring how it often serves the interests of a select few rather than the general populace. Personal reflections on patriotism and the darker realities of war confront the romanticized notions shaped by education and societal influences.
