A Few Remarks on the Conditions for Peace: Reflections on Humanity

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with contemporary conditions for peace. Conceptualising the ethics standing behind peace, the author points to an urgent need to introduce peaceful relations within societies and between states, particularly in the urban era. As a point of reference serve the works of Tiziano Terzani, postulating a thorough reconsideration of the values guiding international policies and a genuine renouncement of war. In the final part of the article the unique role of universities, perceived by the author as the only subject capable of shaping new ethical dialogue is discussed. A wide humanistic education of individuals seems to be an indispensable condition for a lasting peace.
