Opis

Drawing on classic thinkers and contemporary authors, this book shows that nonviolence is inherently a non-systematic and flexible system with no pure, immaculate thought at its core. While the aim is freedom and plurality, the reality is one of less than perfect actions performed in an imperfect environment by flawed individuals.
