| Summary: | Introduction -- Chapter One: Bartolomé de las Casas’ Critique of War and Vision of Peace -- Chapter Two: The Heart of the Daodejing: Non-violent Personhood -- Chapter Three: The Augustinian Legacy of Divine Peace and Earthly War -- Chapter Four: Pacifism or Bourgeois Pacifism? Huxley, Orwell, and Caudwell -- Chapter Five: Julien Freund on War and Peace: Mitigated Realism -- Chapter Six: Revolutionary War and Peace -- Chapter Seven: Catastrophe and Conversion: Culture, Conflict, and Violence in the Hermeneutics of René Girard -- Chapter Eight: Learning for Peace: The Montessori Way -- Chapter Nine: Peace and Violence in Poor Rural Schools in Post-Apartheid South Africa. Peace and War: Historical, Philosophical, and Anthropological Perspectives is an accessible, higher-level critical discussion of philosophical commentaries on the nature of peace and war. It introduces and analyses various philosophies of peace and war, and their continuing theoretical and practical relevance for peace studies and conflict resolution. Using a combination of both historical and contemporary philosophical perspectives, the book is at once eclectic in its approach and broad in its inquiry of these enduring phenomena of human existence. . |
