Course description
NHR527 is a comprehensive and intensive introduction to the most prominent thinkers and pioneers of non-violence who built the foundations of this philosophy in the ancient and contemporary history, the choices they made in their work as in their lives. The course includes an in-depth study of the fundamental concepts that shaped the intellectual and philosophical debate about violence and non-violence, such as good and evil, the ego and the other, the means and the end, truth, conscience, power, submission and obedience, cowardice and courage, struggle and disobedience. The course also prepares students to identify the meanings of non-violence elaborated by Gandhi, and acquire the skills of systematic analysis of philosophical reference texts that formed the legacy of non-violence.
Students will prepare five to seven articles about a non-violent philosopher or pioneer.
