Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have Americans sought peaceful, rather than destructive, solutions to domestic and world conflict? This two-volume set documents peace and antiwar movements in the United States from the colonial era to the present. Although national leaders often claim to be fighting to achieve peace, the real peace seekers struggle against enormous resistance to their message and have often faced persecution for their efforts. Despite a well-established pattern of being involved in wars, the United States also has a long tradition of citizens who made extensive efforts to build and maintain peaceful societies and prevent the destructive human and material costs of war. Unarmed activists have most consistently upheld American values at home. Opposition to War: An Encyclopedia of U.S. Peace and Antiwar Movements investigates this historical tradition of resistance to involvement in armed conflict—an especially important and relevant topic today as the nation has been mired in numerous military conflicts throughout most of the current century. The book examines a largely misunderstood and underappreciated minority of Americans who have committed themselves to finding peaceful resolutions to domestic and international conflicts—individuals who have proposed and conducted an array of practical and creative methods for peaceful change, from the transformation of individual behavior to the development of international governing and legal systems, for more than 250 years. Readers will learn how individuals working alone or organized into societies of various size have steadfastly campaigned to stop war, end the arms race, eliminate the underlying causes of war, and defend the civil liberties of Americans when wartime nationalism most threatens them.

Download or read book Dictionary of Early American Philosophers written by John R. Shook and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 1249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called "a pioneer work of the first importance" by Staughton Lynd, this book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects-Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker -faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists. Originally published in 1968.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address on the Truth, Dignity, Power and Beauty of the Principles of Peace: And on the Unchristian Character and Influence of War and the Warrior Grecian States, may be judged from what Gray says (2d vol. Com. P. 126) that the war arose from an inconsiderable commencement, origin ating in a dispute between Corcyra and Corinth about Epidamnus, and, drawing in all the powerful states Of Greece, terminated in the ruin of Athens. The conduct of the different nations, when palliated or extolled by the historian, afibrdsfewproofs of moderation or equity. (p. The aggrandizement (of the Athenians) and the gratification of (their) te venge, constitute prominent subjects ofhis (pericles') praise, in an elo quent oration to the memory of those who perished in the first cam paign Demosthenes in his oration on the crown, speaking of the Athenians, describes precisely the spirit, which as Gray confesses, (p. 185) was calculated to involve them in eternal warfare, and viola tion of justice towards others. Their whole history, says the orator, was a series of noble contests for preeminence, the whole period of their existence having been spent in braving dangers for the sake of glory and renown. Not satisfied with the mere narrative of wars, and bat tles, and sieges, Avrian professes to have written the history of Alexan der's expedition, by divine assistance and Dion Cassius, as to his simi lar narrative, professes to have been excited to its composition by a divine dream: whilst Alexander himself professed during the siege of Troy, to have received promises Of divine assistance. It is impossible to disguise, much less to deny, the fact that without the wars and war riors of Greece and Rome, their history, so extensive, dazzling and eu tertaining, would be like satan transformed in Pandemonium.
