The Moral Imagination

The Art And Soul Of Building Peace

BY JOHN PAUL LEDERACH
John Paul Lederach's work in the field of conciliation and mediation is internationally recognized. This book represents his thinking and learning over the past several years. He explores the evolution of his understanding of peacebuilding by reflecting on his own experiences in the field. Peacebuilding, in his view, is both a learned skill and an art. Finding this art, he says, requires a worldview shift. Conflict professionals must envision their work as a creative act - an exercise of what Lederach terms the "moral imagination."
