{"product_id":"2940157116804","title":"On Peace Research: The Mayer\/Boulding Dialog","description":"What happens when two men are brought together, men well known for their sparkling wit, their deep devotion to the ideals of pacifism and the Society of Friends, and for the wide divergence in their positions as to how these ideals should be implemented? On April 22-24, 1966, Kenneth Boulding and Milton Mayer met in dialogue at Pendle Hill on the topic of \"Friends and Peace Research.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term \"Peace Research,\" new to some, may be defined as the objective (often scientific) study of the causes of social and especially international conflict, and the conditions for its peaceful or non-violent resolution. Such research would involve the disciplines of psychology, sociology, political science, economics and international law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe basic question to which the two disputants addressed themselves could be summed up as: \"Is peace research a way to peace?\" The following pages offer samplings of their brilliant thrust and parry. No conclusions are reached, and neither man convinced the other. Yet the tension they represent is a polarity we cannot ignore: love must be redeemed by knowledge and knowledge must be redeemed by love.","brand":"Pendle Hill Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103846842608,"sku":"2940157116804","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157116804_p0.jpg?v=1764126955","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157116804","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
