Understanding Peace: A Comprehensive Introduction fills the need
for an original, contemporary examination of peace that is
challenging, informative, and empowering. This well-researched,
fully documented, and highly accessible textbook moves beyond
fixation on war to highlight the human capacity for nonviolent
cooperation in everyday life and in conflict situations. After
deconstructing numerous ideas about war and explaining its heavy
costs to humans, animals, and the environment, discussion turns to
evidence for the existence of peaceful societies. Further topics
include the role of nonviolence in history, the nature of violence
and aggression, and the theory and practice of nonviolence. The
book offers two new moral arguments against war, and concludes by
defining peace carefully from different angles and then describing
conditions for creating a culture of peace. Understanding Peace
brings a fresh philosophical perspective to discussions of peace,
and also addresses down-to-earth issues about effecting
constructive change in a complex world. The particular strength of
Understanding Peace lies in its commitment to reflecting on and
integrating material from many fields of knowledge. This approach
will appeal to a diverse audience of students and scholars in peace
studies, philosophy, and the social sciences, as well as to
general-interest readers.
