Wrappers lightly toned. 1953 Stapled Binding. 40 pp. Foreword by Aldous Huxley. "In a very interesting essay Amiya Chakravarty discusses the Indian philosophy of peace. The great merit of this philosophy consists in the fact that it goes back to first principles. Peace it insists is more than a mere matter of political and economic arrangements. Because man stands on the borderline between the animal and the divine the temporal and the eternal peace on earth possesses a cosmic significance. Every violent extinction of a human life has a transcendent and eternal significance. Moreover the mind of the universe is among other things the peace that passes understanding.
