Peace Talks—Who Will Listen?

Fred Dallmayr is Packey J. Dee Professor of Political Theory at the University of Notre Dame.

"Fred Dallmayr has made another important contribution to comparative philosophical and religious studies from his well-known—and well-established—continental philosophical perspective." —Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Dallmayr... intends for this study to be a call for peace in this age of strife, destruction, and desolation. ...the scope of Dallmayr's erudition here is a tour de force." —Cistercian Studies Quarterly"A vibrant contemporary voice in the proliferating multicultural conversation of mankind, Professor Dallmayr makes the strongest case yet for a peace-making culture that would be able to restrain the war machine mentality of our present age. The debt that we all owe Professor Dallmayr has increased immeasurably with the publication of this his most recent volume." —Calvin O. Schrag, Purdue University"This book has great strength.... The most important service it offers is that it gives both general readers and scholars a sense of the tremendous powers for peacemaking contained in the world's philosophical and religious traditions. ...the book is extremely interesting and useful. It is a helpful guide through the resources of peacemaking found throughout the world's cultural traditions." —Perspectives on Politics"With gripping multicultural sensitivity, Professor Dallmayr opens our minds and hearts to an urgent, timely message of how to think about making peace. With penetrating insights and fascinating exploration, he shows that this message, which must be heeded if our species is to survive with dignity, has timeless roots that he vividly brings to light while drawing deftly on traditions at once ancient and modern, Western and Eastern, and from the global North and South." —Robert C. Johansen, Professor of Peace Studies and Political Science, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, University of Notre Dame
