There may be several different criteria of survival value, not comparable in any quantitative way among themselves. Scheler says that we cannot account for war as a purely biological phenomenon. Its roots lie deep in organic life, but there is no direct development or exclusive development from animal behavior to human. War is peculiarly human. That, in a way, may be accepted as the truth.
Treitschke, Schmitz , Scheler , Nusbaum , Arndt, Steinmetz, Lasson, Engelbrecht, Schoonmaker, all sing the praises of war as the most glorious work of man, or as performing for civilization some noble good. Even Hegel said that wars invigorate humanity just as the storm preserves the sea from putrescence. But this praise of war, we say, is by no means exclusively German.
It arises when obstacles appear to be too great, when there are reverses, and the enemy shows signs of being able to maintain a long and stubborn resistance, or flaunts again the original cause of the disagreement. Scheler says that revenge, which is a form of hate, is not a justifiable war motive.
