Poesis of Peace
Book Description
In a world where peace often feels elusive, this thoughtful exploration reveals the profound connections between tranquility, creativity, and spiritual understanding. Drawing from diverse wisdom traditions spanning Western philosophy, Islamic thought, Chinese philosophy, and Buddhist and Hindu teachings, this work examines how peace emerges not as mere absence of conflict, but as a creative force that shapes our relationship with nature, our bodies, and the environment around us.
Through careful analysis of violence and peace as aesthetic experiences, the book invites readers to discover how different cultures and spiritual traditions understand the path to harmony. Leading theologians and philosophers join emerging voices to present fresh perspectives on non-violence, weaving together insights from theology, philosophy, political theory, and environmental studies.
Rather than offering simple answers, this multidisciplinary approach encourages readers to explore the deeper questions about how peace manifests in daily life and spiritual practice. The work demonstrates how ancient wisdom traditions continue to offer relevant guidance for contemporary challenges, particularly in our relationship with the natural world.
For those seeking to understand peace as both a personal spiritual journey and a broader cultural phenomenon, this collection provides rich material for reflection and growth. The diverse perspectives presented here illuminate how different traditions approach the fundamental human longing for harmony and wholeness.
