Positive Peace
Reflections on Peace Education, Nonviolence, and Social ChangePositive Peace is a scholarly and creative compilation of articles on peace education, nonviolence and social change. Arun Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) sets the scene in his introduction with the challenge that positive peace is both a resisting of the physical violence of war and the passive violence of the psychological structures that lead to conflict. Peace education rises to meet that challenge. In twelve chapters, philosophers and educators look at a variety of topics from Gandhian nonviolence, to pragmatic conflict solving; hope and the ethics of belief, to the way we use violent language; mothering and peace activism, to multiculturalism and peace. Recurring themes are: pragmatic nonviolence, the ethics of care as an antidote to violence, and hope in a violent world. Chapters on the use of film in peace education, song and nonviolent activism, and teaching art history and peace, demonstrate pragmatic possibilities for would-be peace educators. Arun Gandhi in his introduction asks, “For generations human beings have strived to attain peace, but with little or no success. … Why is peace so illusive? Is it unattainable? Are humans incapable of living in peace?” This book suggests that peace education has a large part to play. It is an important attempt to begin to meet the challenge.

Love as a Guide to Morals
"There are many admirable traits to be found in the text … It is remarkably concise, given how much intellectual ground is covered by the discussion, yet utterly free of technical jargon, and manages to introduce readers to the discipline and practice of philosophy while also making a fairly rigorous argument that love, while not the only basis for morality, “is a better basis than all the others”… highly accessible to readers with or without philosophical training, and one that biblio-therapists as well as classroom instructors are likely to find easy to use. … anyone who wishes to pursue the philosophical arguments will benefit greatly from his enormously detailed endnotes" – in: Philosophical Practice 8/2 (July 2013), 1234-36"This book is unique in providing a clear, thoughtful introduction to ethical theory and moral practice by placing them within a deep and profound aspect of human existence: loving relationships" – Dr. David Boersema, Pacific University, Oregon"I find this to be a brilliant account of a love-based ethics … Fitz-Gibbon is particularly ingenious in the way he uses rather than refutes established positions in moral philosophy, uses them to show that they imply or support or are improved by his ethics of love." – Dr. Joseph Betz, Villanova University"The focus on love as a central part of ethics is wonderful, and I can’t think of any other book that I’ve used that shows how love is central to thinking about ethics." – Dr. Danielle Poe, University of Dayton
