Life-Coherent Peace
An Autopoietic, Life-Value, Anti-Violence Framework for Human and Planetary FlourishingDe DR. Bichara SahelyDuração54m
Sobre este audiolivro
Life-Coherent Peace invites listeners to rethink peace beyond the absence of war. A society may be free of open conflict while still disabling life through hunger, ecological destruction, loneliness, humiliation, preventable disease, and structural injustice. Drawing on John McMurtry’s life-value ethics, Humberto Maturana’s biology of autopoiesis and love, and Johan Galtung’s theory of direct, structural, and cultural violence, Dr. Bichara Sahely develops a framework for peace as organized life-enablement.
This audiobook asks a simple but demanding question: do our institutions, economies, cultures, technologies, and relationships enable or disable the capacities of living beings to think, feel, act, relate, and flourish within the planetary conditions that make life possible?
Peace, in this view, is not passive order. It is life-coherent coexistence.
