In The Moral Equivalent of War, William Jamess final public statement explores the growing interest in international peace from a practical psychologists perspective. For over fifteen years, the movement advocating for global peace has rallied support from diverse organizations and individuals around the globe. Though a pacifist, James recognizes the value of certain human virtues that militarism fosters, arguing that until the peace movement presents a viable moral equivalent to the discipline of war, its idealistic aspirations remain both undesirable and unattainable. His proposals serve more as thought-provoking illustrations rather than practical solutions, emphasizing the myriad opportunities for cultivating martial qualities in peaceful ways. Written for widespread distribution by the American Association for International Conciliation in February 1910, this work not only outlines a peace agenda but also articulates the prevailing arguments of the pro-war stance. While it does not include militarist perspectives, it acknowledges notable defenses of war found in the essays of De Quincey and Ruskin. The Association continues to publish diverse documents on conciliation, examining the issue from countless angles. (Summary by Harrison Ross Steeves and Frank Humphrey Ristine, editors.) Edited and introduced by Harrison Ross Steeves (1881-1981) and Frank Humphrey Ristine (1884-1958).Copyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion 世界 哲学 政治・政府 政治学 社会科学
