LST 544 - Nonviolence in Literature, History, and Philosophy


This seminar explores the development of nonviolent thought and practice through study of the works of Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas Gandhi, Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Thomas Merton, Gene Sharp, and others. The course will consider debates within nonviolent thought (e.g., nonviolence as tactic versus nonviolence as a lifestyle) and critiques of nonviolence from all sides of the political spectrum.
