Choose Hope (Italian)
Your Role in Waging Peace in the Nuclear Age

TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
Buddhist leader Daisaku Ikeda discusses a future free of nuclear arms with David Krieger, founder of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. Their dialogue offers a balance of Eastern and Western perspectives on the “people power” needed in order to imagine and press for the elimination of nuclear arms. The authors urge a conscious and active choice of hope as the first step toward a more just and peaceful world.Throughout the dialogue are inspiring examples of contemporary as well as historical figures whose efforts have advanced the cause of peace and the abolition of nuclear arms. These as well as the authors’ own endeavors serve to demonstrate their point that it is within everyone’s reach to “wage peace” by engaging in the kind of dialogue that creates mutual understanding.

Choose Peace (Italian) - new edition

Joha Galtung, the dean of peace research, and Daisaku Ikeda explore the interface between Buddhism and non-violent solutions to global conflict. The two men share bitter personal memories of World War II. During the German occupation of Norway, Galtung’s father was imprisoned in a concentration camp for his resistance activities. In Ikeda’s case, his older brother died in combat, adding to the terrible personal anguish of war.
Far from abstract, their quest inspires concrete proposals that are directly relevant to the political agendas of today, such as the death penalty, nationalism and regional unification, fundamentalism, arms reduction, the proliferation and supervision of nuclear technology, and the role of the United Nations in peacekeeping initiatives.

For the Sake of Peace (Italian)
Seven Paths to Global Harmony: A Buddhist Perspective

TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
For the Sake of Peace presents a vision of establishing global peace in terms that are both passionate and practical. Drawing together key themes from the author’s 20 years of university lectures and proposals to the United Nations, this volume highlights accessible routes which can lead to peace including Self-Mastery, Dialogue and Tolerance and “the Path of Culture.” Central to Ikeda’s approach is the key role of dialogue in all human affairs. It is a concept that Ikeda has been energetically putting into practice for a number of decades, engaging many of the world’s prominent thinkers and actors in discussion about their specialties and the application of their insights to the issue of peace and human happiness. These discussions naturally inform the current work, adding depth and scope to the book’s global perspective.

Revolutions (Italian)
to green the environment, to grow the human heart

Having saved tens of million of people in India and other Asian countries from hunger, Monkombu Sambasivan Swaminathan is well known as the father of economic ecology and of agricultural modernization in India. Currently, as the president of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, Swaminatnan dedicates himself to eliminate nuclear weapons and to attain global peace. In 1999, the American magazine Time named Swaminathan one of the most influential Asians of the 20th century. This series of dialogues between Swaminathan and Ikeda was published in English in 2005, the year that marked the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is their hearts’ desire and pledge to create a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons and wars.

Human Values in a Changing World (Italian)
A Dialogue on the Social Role of Religion

In a spontaneously wide-ranging conversation over dinner one winter evening in Japan, sociologist of religion Bryan Wilson and Buddhist philosopher Daisaku Ikeda recognized the importance of explaining and learning about their worldviews. Human Values in a Changing World is the record of their further exchanges on how they see the religious response to the human condition.In their co-authored Preface to the book, Wilson and Ikeda offer their dialogue as an independent contribution to the ongoing public discourse on vital human concerns: “What neither of us could do alone, raising and re-examining subjects that otherwise might be taken for granted, we have sought to do together.”
