Human violence in all its forms—physical, psychological and systemic-cultural—is perhaps the greatest obstacle to well-being in personal and community life. Nonviolence as “a practice that, whenever possible, seeks the well-being of the Other, by refusing to use violence to solve problems, and by acting according to loving kindness” is the best antidote to human violence. By drawing on the philosophy of nonviolence, the American pragmatist tradition and recent empirical research, Pragmatic Nonviolence demonstrates that, rather than being merely theoretical, nonviolence is a truly practical approach toward personal and community well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword  Preface    1 What Would a Better World Look Like?   Scene 1   Scene 2   Scene 3   Scene 4   Scene 5    2 How Violence Spoils a Better World   Scene 1   Scene 2   Scene 3   Scene 4   Scene 5   Scene 6    3 Nonviolence as an Antidote to Violence   Scene 1   Scene 2   Scene 3   Scene 4    4 Pragmatic Nonviolence   Scene 1   Scene 2   Scene 3   Scene 4    Epilogue Objections and Answers   Scene 1    Bibliography  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210813137239,"sku":"9789004445987","price":67.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pragmatic-nonviolence-working-toward-a-better-world-9789004445987","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
