Philosophical Perspectives on Peace


Book Description

"The writers represented are somewhat more diverse than is usual in collections of this sort (they include Dante, Erasmus, Kant, Lorenz, and Rawls). Kainz has helpfully arranged the selections in six categories, each emphasizing a different means of achieving peace (ranging from world government to psychological mechanisms to considerations of justice). The brevity and accessibility of most of the excerpts, together with the fact that each is placed in context by a brief introductory note, would make this a useful resource for instructors who wish to provide their students with a historically sensitive introduction to this aspect of peace studies." -Ethics 100:2, Jan., 1990 "One of the striking things about this anthology is the tension between the idealists and the pragmatists. Bertrand Russell, surprisingly enough, isn't so far from Aristotle.... "Philosophical Perspectives" is immensely readable. It could hardly be otherwise, given the contributors." -The Independent (London), Mar. 14, 1988




The Ways of Peace


Book Description




The Art of War and Peace


Book Description

Conflict resolution. Strategy for success. Contemplation. What is most interesting about the discussion of the Art of War and Peace (AWP) is the necessity of establishing a basic understanding of the title. If the understanding of name is not comprehended, the reason for the composition becomes unclear. It is my intention is for the reader to understand that the rules governing the Art of War are the same rule that govern the Art of Peace. The aims that govern one, govern the other and it is logically essential that to understand one, we must understand the other. We can only understand the nature of conflict resolution if we understand the causes of conflict. What marries the Art of War and Peace is the concept that armed conflict should be avoided as expressed in the words of Sung Tzu, "The superior person wins his battles without fighting." The reality of The Art of War and the Art of Peace is that conflict is inevitable. Therefore we should prepare ourselves for this reality. The resolution of conflict comes from our own ability to overcome it by knowledge of the rules of engagement. Conflict survives because of doctrines of attrition. Attrition extends our reasons to commit to conflict, limiting our sight and vision that are necessary to continue forward. The Art of War and Peace is a training guide that is essential to those who wish to create a greater meaning of what we do. The words and meaning will be out of reach to those who are orthodox in their understanding. The reality is, "We are only limited by the beliefs we have." If our beliefs are expandable, we will understand well the art.







Nonviolence, Peace, and Justice


Book Description

This book takes a philosophical approach to questions concerning violence, war, and justice in human affairs. It offers the reader a broad introduction to underlying assumptions, values, concepts, theories, and the historical contexts informing much of the current discussion worldwide regarding these morally crucial topics. It provides brief summaries and analyses of a wide range of relevant belief systems, philosophical positions, and policy problems. While not first and foremost a book of advocacy, it is clearly oriented throughout by the ethical preference for nonviolent strategies in the achievement of human ends and a belief in the viability of a socially just—and thus peaceful—human future. It also maintains a consistently skeptical stance towards the all-too-easily accepted apologies, past and present, for violence, war, and the continuation of injustice.




THE ART OF PEACE


Book Description

In a world full of challenges and conflicts, the quest for peace emerges as an essential and urgent ideal for the survival and prosperity of humanity. While history is marked by wars and violent disputes, the time has come to question and reflect on the true meaning of peace and how we can achieve it in a lasting way. The concept of peace transcends the mere absence of war and violence. Peace covers the creation of an environment conducive to human flourishing, the guarantee of rights and dignity, respect for diversity, social justice and harmony between individuals and nations. Peace is not only a passive state, but an active condition, built with continuous and strategic efforts. In this ebook, we will explore various perspectives on the quest for peace, questioning the paradigm of war as a solution to conflicts and presenting alternatives for building a more peaceful world. Through historical examples, contemporary analyses and insights from visionary thinkers, we will examine how ideas and practices that sustain war can be questioned, challenged and replaced by a culture of peace. We believe that peace is not only a distant utopia, but an achievable goal through collective commitment, dialogue, mutual understanding and cooperation. In this journey, we will unveil the inner and outer dimensions of peace, recognizing its importance in our personal, community and global lives. Throughout the next chapters, we will explore various areas in which the quest for peace can be applied, from diplomacy between nations to the promotion of inner peace in each individual. Together, we will seek to expand our understanding of the complex nature of peace and learn how we can contribute significantly to building a more just, secure and peaceful world for all. We invite you to engage in this journey of reflection and discovery, in which the art of peace is revealed not only as an ideal to be pursued, but as a path that leads us towards a more promising future for all humanity. The quest for peace is in itself an act of courage and wisdom, and it is through it that we will find the strength to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and harmony, building a world where the true art of peace prevails over the art of war.




Peace Philosophy and Public Life


Book Description

To a world assaulted by private interests, this book argues that peace must be a public thing. Distinguished philosophers of peace have always worked publicly for public results. Opposing nuclear proliferation, organizing communities of the disinherited, challenging violence within status quo establishments, such are the legacies of truly engaged philosophers of peace. This volume remembers those legacies, reviews the promise of critical thinking for crises today, and expands the free range of thinking needed to create more mindful and peaceful relations. With essays by committed peace philosophers, this volume shows how public engagement has been a significant feature of peace philosophers such as Camus, Sartre, Dewey, and Dorothy Day. Today we also confront historical opportunities to transform practices for immigration, police interrogation, and mental health, as we seek to sustain democracies of increasing multicultural diversity. In such cases our authors consider points of view developed by renowned thinkers such as Weil, Mouffe, Conway, and Martín-Baró. This volume also presents critical analysis of concepts for thinking about violence, reconsiders Plato’s philosophy of justice, and examines the role of ethical theory for liberation struggles such as Occupy!
