Abstract

This article examines holistic, evolving aspects of nonviolence—as a goal and as the desired means for bringing about needed social-political change, whether in schools or society, along with important practitioners of nonviolence. It covers Gandhi's principled and spiritually-based nonviolence for collective social-political change (Part 1); a number of other nonviolence practitioners in the Gandhian tradition—from different countries and spiritual-religious traditions working for different goals in their respective countries (Part 2); strategic nonviolence of Gene Sharp and others (Part 3); and additional forms of working nonviolently within existing systems that have emerged since Gandhi's time (Part 4).
