"The Department of Philosophy Gujarat University Ahmedabad organized a five-day international conference on World Peace from 29 December 2003 to 2 January 2004 in which more than 240 delegates from all over the world participated. In the conference\'s academic sessions that ran simultaneously at seven places, scholars presented more than 210 papers from various fields. The papers presented are par excellence in their presentation and subject matter. Right from the Indian glorious tradition of Vedic culture to the Derridian deconstruction and feminism this book contains almost all aspects related to peace. The Vedantic, the Yoga and daily life, Sankara and peace, environmentalism and peace, religion and peace are the main and recurrent themes that run through the pages of this book. Every reader of this book shall find something nascent and live as per his taste and will definitely strive to do something for the cause of peace." (jacket)
