Good article as always.

If you are in need for a new blog topic, I would be interested in an article on Clausewitz influence on philosophy and histography.

Had a book about the history of philosophy in my hands lately and notably Machiavelli was treated, but not Clausewitz.

One meta-concept I took away from Clausewitz was to view social processes, as war and politics are, as a system of many opposing and supporting forces. Somewhat exaggerated, viewing social processes like a Newtonian physics problem.

(I hope that this is no complete misinterpretation of Clausewitz' work, if so happy to be corrected).
