41War the school of space: The space of war and the war for spaceEthics, Place and Environment 9 (2). 2006.This essay seeks to show that military strategists have not only been acute philosophers of space but also philosophers of world history. The works of Albert Speer, Friedrich Ratzel, A. T. Mahan, Halford Mackinder, Carl Schmitt, Guilio Duohet, and Harlan K.

Benjamin brought to letter writing an antiquarian and uninhibited talent; for him the letter re…Read more
