DTIC ADA600617: Carl von Clausewitz's Concept of Military Genius and the Cognitive Illusions that Preclude Clear Thinking

This paper assesses the role of intuition in Carl von Clausewitz's description of military genius in On War. Specifically, it addresses the cognitive biases discovered and articulated by cognitive psychologists to determine how failures of human intuition preclude clear thinking and hinder military decision making. The purpose of this paper is to add some measure of clarity based on the research of scientists and psychologists to help inform readers of how decisions are made and the cognitive errors that prevent military decision-makers from making the best possible decision given the information available at the time.
