Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki

Erasmus Against War is a powerful and enduring critique of the violence and devastation of warfare, written by one of the most influential humanist thinkers of the Renaissance, Desiderius Erasmus. This volume includes his renowned essay Dulce Bellum Inexpertis ("War is Sweet to Those Who Have Not Experienced It"), along with other reflective writings that plead for peace, rational diplomacy, and the moral responsibility of rulers and citizens alike. With unmatched wit, rhetorical mastery, and moral clarity, Erasmus condemns war as not only irrational and brutal but also as a direct contradiction to Christian values. He deconstructs the glorification of war often seen in politics, literature, and religion, arguing that peace is the truest mark of civilized and spiritual progress. This work is as relevant today as it was in the early 16th century. Erasmus’ arguments stand as a profound philosophical and ethical foundation for modern peace movements. His writing challenges readers to consider the human cost of conflict and to embrace dialogue and compassion over violence.

Kuhusu mwandishi

Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536) was a Dutch philosopher, Catholic priest, and classical scholar who became a leading figure of the European Renaissance. Known for his wit, erudition, and passionate humanism, Erasmus advocated for educational reform, religious tolerance, and the application of reason to ethical and theological debates. His critiques of dogmatism and violence influenced both the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation, though he remained committed to reform within the Church rather than schism. His legacy endures as a voice for peace, learning, and rational faith.
