War and the threat of war define our time, while alarming climate-policy warnings have had little lasting impact. In this anthology, authors from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds address the question of why we need explicitly anti-war modes of thinking and acting in order to confront the crises of our age. What unites all contributors is the deep conviction that wars cannot be justified and that the global challenges of our time can only be understood and resolved through civilian means. As Louis Lecoin’s critique of war remains relevant today: “Even if it were proven to me that my ideal could be achieved through war, I would still say no to war. For a human society cannot be built upon heaps of corpses.”
