NOTE
This little book deals with the everlasting problem of war and peace.
My main proposition is that mankind must be predisposed for peace
by the right kind of education. It would have been simpler to leave
3
1 that argument in the air, but since war is an immediate threat I have
0
2
r thought it honest not to disguise my pacifist sentiments, for education
e
b for peace will only get a chance if in the meantime we refrain from war.
m
e Four of these papers were originally delivered in 1947 or 1948 as
t
p
e lectures in various parts of the world—Sweden, Greece, Czecho-
S
3 Slovakia, Belgium, the United States of America and England. The
2
1 final essay was originally published by the Freedom Press (London) as
1
:
3 a separate pamphlet. For a more complete statement of the theory of
0
at education which lies at the basis of them all, the reader is referred to
]
y the author's previous book, Education Through Art.
