This chapter is devoted to Aron’s philosophy of history. It discusses its importance in making political decisions. History lacks the degree of certainty found in the natural sciences but historical examples can provide much needed context and help formulate answers to contemporary problems.

In the first part, it explores Aron’s adaption of the notion of ideology through Karl Mannheim and Edward Shils and concludes with a discussion of the “End of Ideology?” debate. In the second part, it clarifies the similarities and differences between Aron’s conception of totalitarianism and that of Hannah Arendt.

When Raymond Aron died suddenly in October of 1983, there was an outpouring of grief and praise. Aron was highly regarded by philosophers, sociologists, political thinkers, and many others in a variety of disciplines. Newspapers and journals were filled with his obituaries and most of the authors lauded Aron for his work. Even allowing for some hyperbole, it was understood that the world had lost a great thinker. Since then, Aron’s reputation has suffered to some degree; however, there have been a number of scholars who have written about him and their estimation of Aron is understandably high. Finally, there have been a few additions to the literature on Aron, and those indicate a further resurgence of interest in his thinking. Aron was one of the leading sociologists and political philosophers of the twentieth century; his legacy deserves to live on and his writings deserve to be read.

This chapter explores Aron’s own use of Weber’s theoretical and political thinking. It begins by an exploration of Aron’s early understanding of Weber’s sociology and moves to his appropriation of Weber’s political philosophy. It concludes by suggesting that Aron’ rejected Weber’s nationalism but promoted a political ethics similar to Max Weber’s concept of political responsibility

This chapter explores the dialectic between war and peace. It could have been entitled “On International Relations” because it explores Aron’s realistic conception of the relations between countries. However, Aron departs from most political Realists by insisting on the importance that morality must play in international relations.

This chapter explores Aron’s understanding of Clausewitz and his theory of war. It maintains that Aron intended to offer a careful reading of Clausewitz’ work and to correct many of the misunderstandings and misinterpretations of this great military authority. It concludes with a claim that rather than being outdated, Clausewitz’ theory can be instructive in the atomic age.
