The Great Cycle: The Solution Of The Problem Of War is a book written by John Edward Bennett in 1918. The book explores the causes of war and offers a solution to end it. The author argues that war is a result of a cycle of violence and revenge that has been perpetuated for centuries. He suggests that the only way to break this cycle is through a spiritual transformation that promotes love and compassion.Bennett draws on various religious and philosophical traditions to support his argument, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Taoism. He also examines the role of nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism in promoting war and suggests that these ideologies must be replaced with a more cooperative and egalitarian society.The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the causes of war, the second part proposes a solution to end it, and the third part explores the implications of this solution for society as a whole. Throughout the book, Bennett emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and individual transformation in creating a more peaceful world.Overall, The Great Cycle is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the problem of war.
