The need for peace education,
This review is from: Peace Education: Exploring Ethical and Philosophical Foundations (PB) (Paperback)
In his book, Peace Education, Dr. James Page makes a powerful argument for the value of educating people about peace, demonstrating how international agreements, the major world religions, and five major ethical/philosophical traditions all provide support for that value.Dr. Page's overview of international agreements identifying peace as a human right should be read by everyone; many Americans seem to have no inkling that documents signed by their government indicate that they have a right to live in a world of peace. His reference to Dale Brown, who said that "Christians are the only people who are not aware that Christ was committed to non-violence," (p. 27) provides considerable food for thought. Page's book is not a how-to manual for developing peace education courses; it is a scholarly philosophical book designed to provide theoretical foundations for teaching about peace. It is likely to have considerable appeal to philosophers and ethicists in general as well as to proponents of peace and peace education.
