Imprecisely described as 'the Arab Spring', the revolution has been convulsing the whole region. It failed in some countries, and was not sustained in others after the dictators' fall. Beyond this uneven course, 'Philosophy of Nonviolence' examines how 2011 may have ushered in a fundamental break in the human journey, one animated by non-violence, which the book argues is the new anima of the philosophy of history UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199394203.001.0001 ER -
