Description

This book explores the meanings of peace, including political approaches and strategies for better understanding and change from a range of ideological and philosophical perspectives. The chapters pose philosophical, ideological and pedagogical questions. The contributors encourage active thought about the complex interrelationship of the personal and systemic dimensions of peace. This volume aims to stimulate thought about the peace process by examining individual behaviour and responsibility as well as that of the political and social collective. It challenges the reader into thinking deeply about peace by focusing on the complex interrelationship of its personal and structural dimensions. Although the book is organized into three parts, the themes presented necessarily overlap.
