Beskrivning

Understanding Peace Holistically: From the Spiritual to the Political argues that spiritually rooted and morally oriented peacefulness is relevant to the socio-economic–political structures that provide the conditions for a culture of peace. As the authors build up a theory of peace from the spiritual to the relational and communal towards the socio-political, this book also identifies key principles that characterise international and institutional processes that nurture peace. The holistic conception of peace developed in this book may guide and inspire individuals, institutions, and international organisations with regards to how to make peace.

“What is peace? Traditional answers to the question are shallow, limited to the absence of disturbance. In this original and thought-provoking volume, the authors lay the groundwork for a fully enriched conception of peace. It is definitely an essential reading for peace studies and also an invitation for us all to reflect on our ways of life together.”—Kenneth Gergen, Professor of Psychology at Swarthmore College and Founder and President of the Taos Institute
