Unlike other forms of li
38、fe, human beings are born with a capacity to reflect on this task and to search for better solutions by conscious thought and careful choices. The task of overcoming conflicts and achieving community life and cooperation arises because human beings are unable and unwilling to live in complete isolat
39、ion. The advantages of cooperation and community life are so numerous and so obvious that they must have been evident to man from earliest times. By now, our ancestors have closed off the choice; for most of us the choice of total isolation from a community is, realistically speaking, no longer open
40、. Nevertheless, however strongly human beings are driven to seek the company of one another, and despite thousands of years practice, they have never discovered a way in which they can live together without conflict. Conflict exists when one individual wishes to follow a line of action that would ma
41、ke it difficult or impossible for someone else to pursue his own desired. Conflict seems to be an incapable aspect of the community and consequently of human beings. Why conflict seems inescapable is a question that has troubled many people: philosophers, historians, social scientists, doubtless a g
