Bøger af Vicki A. Spencer

This edited collection explores the diversity of past conceptualizations as well as the remarkable continuity in the desire for peace across global intellectual traditions. Each chapter offers a case study of a particular intellectual tradition and attempts to rehabilitate 'forgotten' conceptions of peace and reclaim its contemporary relevance.

Vicki A. Spencer reveals Herder as one of the first Western philosophers to grapple seriously with cultural diversity without abandoning a commitment to universal values and the first to make language and culture an issue of justice.
