Description

A powerful book on the importance of committing to nonviolence. In this compact book, Ramin Jahanbegloo argues that the time has come for humanity to renew its political, economic, and cultural commitment to the idea of nonviolence. At the core of the work of such towering fighters against oppression as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, and Václav Havel, the idea of nonviolence still has much to teach us and much work to do in the ongoing fight for justice worldwide.
  Ramin Jahanbegloo is the executive director of the Mahatma Gandhi Centre for Nonviolence and Peace Studies and, in 2009, won the Peace Prize from the United Nations Association in Spain. He is the author of more than twenty works of philosophy.
