Recenzii
As thoughtful and thought-provoking as it is informed and informative, 'Transformative Pacifism: Critical Theory and Practice' is an exceptionally well written, organized and presented study that is especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library Contemporary Philosophy collections and supplemental studies reading lists.
Original in conception, vast in scope and lucid in presentation, Andrew Fiala's book represents a fresh approach to moral philosophy as well as making a major contribution to understanding world peace.
Transformative Pacifism provides a holistic discussion of pacifism as a comprehensive normative theory and critical social theory. The book persuasively assesses and supports the relevance and importance of pacifism as a distinctive ethical and political position at multiple levels, from the personal to the global. This book will be an important resource for those interested in a wide range of issues associated with peace studies, nonviolence studies, and political theory more generally.
Andrew Fiala has been a major voice in the growing interest in pacifism and non-violence in recent years. People look to him for informed, insightful, and committed writings on the major question of our time: how can we move beyond the violence that infuses so many dimensions of our world-and create the world of peace for which humanity has longed? His latest book, Transformative Pacifism, is another vital contribution to these discussions. He develops an expansive conception of pacifism as a philosophy of life in all its dimensions, and in all its relations to the world including the natural world. He is not just concerned with opposing war, but asks: What does it mean to practice peace? His book is written in a style accessible to students and scholars alike. It is a book that can, and should, be read by all. I recommend it in the highest terms.
Fiala's book is an excellent presentation of pacifism as moral and critical theory.
