This book is a compilation of essays addressing the central issue of humanity: interpersonal violence, and more importantly, nonviolence as its antidote. The essays trace the author's journey from early pacifist convictions influenced by personal experiences with violence to a nuanced understanding of nonviolence rooted in ethics, love, spirituality, and critical theory. Spanning over two decades, the writings explore various dimensions of nonviolence, from philosophical arguments and historical analysis to practical applications in parenting, political resistance, and care ethics. The book brings together previously published works that have been instrumental in shaping the author's thinking, making them accessible for scholars, students, and anyone interested in nonviolence. With reflections on the works of Murdoch, MacIntyre, Gandhi, and others, it offers a comprehensive examination of nonviolence as both a personal practice and a social imperative.
