Myth, Neuropsychology and Human Conflict

[Jordan Peterson]

I would like to announce the internet posting of a book-length manuscript 
I have written, entitled

The Gods of War: An Investigation into the Intrapsychic Bases of 
Motivation for Social Conflict

This book can be accessed in toto at

http://wjh-www.harvard.edu/~jbp/godsofwar.html

It purports to describe why human beings are prone to violent intergroup 
conflict, from the perspective of individual motivation. It presents a 
novel interpretation of the structure of mythology, and relates that 
structure to fundamental neuropsychological processes, manifested in 
cognition and emotion.

I have placed the text on the internet for experimental purposes.
A txt only gopher version is forthcoming.


I hope I am not violating any internet codes of conduct by informing your 
newsgroup in this way. If I have, please excuse my ignorance. 

I hope you find the information I am offering useful and interesting.


Comments regarding the book can be sent to my alias at
