Lasson was not a pacifist. In 1868, in his book Das Kulturideal und der Krieg , he formulated B .:
"[I] m peace [...] the illusion easily arises that the state is there for individuals, for their prosperity and comfort [...] The state in war demands all belongings of its citizens for its purposes, and he does demands even more: He demands the surrender of their entire existence [...] The state at peace is not a true state; it only reveals its full meaning in the war. "
“Peace may produce an industrious, lovable race; but the strength withers, the nerve slacks. "
