Nonviolent Resistance: A Philosophical Introduction

Nonviolent Resistance: A Philosophical Study of the Moral Foundations of Unarmed Insurrection is a groundbreaking book that offers an in-depth examination of the concept and objectives of nonviolence, its dynamics, values, and role in today's world.

Written by philosopher Todd May, who has personally participated in campaigns of nonviolent resistance, this book provides a unique philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of nonviolence.

With historical and contemporary examples, May explores the respect for dignity and presupposition of equality that infuse nonviolent activity, and examines the different dynamics of nonviolence, from moral jiu-jitsu to nonviolent coercion.

This book is an essential read for students of politics, peace studies, philosophy, political activists, and anyone interested in understanding one of the most prevalent yet least reflected upon political approaches in today's world.
