Synopsis Talking and teaching human rights and peace not only require strong convictions but also the capacity to question and verify their logical foundations as well as their potential to prevail over the equations of power within the world of reality. It is a book that mingles zeal for social transformation with a critical intellectual rigour that is resolute in interrogating the philosophical histories and their future under the new challenges attending on the emergent world-order. The implication of the pedagogical method the book follows are, indeed, far reaching. Students of human rights, peace researchers and policy makers should find the book to be indispensable.
