The Principle of Nonviolence

Résumé du livre

Translation of Le principe de non-violence: Parcours philosophique by French philosopher-writer-activist Jean-Marie Muller. First published by Desclee de Brouwer in Paris in 1995. The introduction to the first edition succinctly summarizes the significance of Muller's unique contribution: "The goal of this book is to found a philosophical concept of nonviolence....[It aims] to challenge once and for all the ideology that violence is necessary, legitimate, and honorable....Never apparently has this been accomplished in such a masterly and complete manner."
