Hans Morgenthau
Hans Morgenthau was a prominent political scientist and one of the founding figures of the realist school of thought in international relations. Born in Germany in 1904, he fled to the United States in the face of rising anti-Semitism and became a key influence on the study of international politics, particularly through his seminal work, 'Politics Among Nations.' Morgenthau argued that power dynamics are central to international relations and that moral principles cannot guide state behavior effectively. His ideas have shaped the understanding of state behavior and the role of power in global affairs, especially in the context of the Cold War.
Born on Feb 17, 1904 (121 years old)
