Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, Counterinsurgency Training Center Kabul, language: English, abstract: Science, History and Art all have something in common: they all depend on metaphor, on the recognition of patterns, and the realization that something is like something else to focus attention on a vantage point. On where we have been. We only know our future by the past we project into it; in a sense our history is all we have.
