The Moral Imagination: The Art and Soul of Building Peace

John Paul Lederach (University of Notre Dame). The Moral Imagination (Oxford University Press, 2005).

"This book poses the question, 'How do we transcend the cycles of violence that bewitch our human community while still living in them?' Peacebuilding, in the view of this book, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, this book says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act—an exercise of what the book terms the 'moral imagination.' This imagination must, however, emerge from and speak to the hard realities of human affairs. The peacebuilder must have one foot in what is and one foot beyond what exists. . . . The [book's] purpose is not to propose a grand new theory; instead it wishes to stay close to the 'messiness' of real processes and change, and to recognize the serendipitous nature of the discoveries and insights that emerge along the way."
