<p style="font-weight:400;">This book explores the normative dimensions of peace education through the lens of moral and political philosophy. The purpose of the book is to explore the idea of peace as a matter of justice, and its core problematic—violence, and to articulate a pedological framework for the development and exercise of citizens’ capacities for moral reasoning and judgment regarding potential responses to the basic questions of justice necessary for a peaceful society. The societal conditions that allow peace to flourish are contingent upon the informed political participation of democratic citizens who are capable of being not merely recipients, but dynamic<em> agents of justice</em>.<span> </span>The education and development of citizens as democratic agents of consensual power and justice is of paramount importance and constitutes both the necessary conditions and the means for the realization of freedom, equality, and a just peace on all levels of human relationship.<span> </span></p>
