Volume Editor:
Events in recent times have led many to rightly question the compatibility such traditionally revered concepts as democracy, liberal tolerance, and capitalism have with the realization of social peace. Clearly, it can no longer be uncritically assumed that the values championed by earlier generations are conducive to reaching peaceful outcomes. In Peaceful Approaches for a More Peaceful World, a wide array of scholars explore the challenges presented in the current age to conventional understandings of what is required for peace and provide insights that are both practical and constructive to a world in urgent need of conceiving new ways forward.
Sanjay Lal, Ph.D. (2006), University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is senior lecturer of Philosophy at Clayton State University. He is the author of Gandhi’s Thought and Liberal Democracy. Additionally, Lal is an editor of The Acorn: Philosophical Studies in Pacifism and Nonviolence.
