“I would say that an understanding of man’s intrinsic needs, and of the necessity to search for a climate in which those needs could be realized, is fundamental to the education of the designer.”

—Paul Rand

On War: The Art of Persuasion

“War is the continuation of politics by other means.”

—Carl von Clausewitz

Interpretation: We use force to impose our will. We use force to get what we want. What if there’s a better way? What if we temper the heavy hand of authority through the art of persuasion?

Meet Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz. A Prussian military general and theorist, von Clausewitz’s pioneering work, On War (a 9,000-page German tome) remains a seminal text in the study of modern warfare. Credentials:

A soldier at age twelve. Campaign in France—1792-1793. Attended Berlin General War School. Captured by the French during the Jena Campaign; 1806. Russian and German campaigns—1812-1813. Pivotal role in the Convention of Tauroggen, uniting Prussia, Russia, and the United Kingdom in victory against France at Waterloo, 1815. Director of the Kriegsakademie, the highest military college in the Kingdom of Prussia. Rejoins the Army in 1830; appointed Chief of Staff during the Polish Insurrection of 1830-1831.

Credentials now established, forget about them. Let’s look to the lesson.
