| 520 | _a"Erasmus Against War" by Desiderius Erasmus is a philosophical treatise written in the early 16th century that critiques the nature and consequences of war. This work is part of the broader humanist movement that sought to promote peace, morality, and rational thought over the chaos of conflict. At its core, the text argues against the justifications of war and emphasizes the inherent value of humanity, advocating for love and peace instead. The opening of the treatise sets the stage for its central argument by comparing the nature of man to that of war. Erasmus highlights the differences between the noble qualities of human beings—such as kindness, intellect, and social cooperation—and the barbarity and destruction represented by war. He emphasizes that war is often precipitated by trivial causes and results in immense suffering, which is fundamentally contrary to human nature designed for friendship and community. Through powerful imagery and philosophical reasoning, he appeals to the reader’s sense of morality and the absurdity of engaging in violence, especially among people who share faith and humanity.
