About This Item
Lond: Gardners Books, 2005. Very Good. An advocate of a supranational government agency to replace obsolete nation -states and transformation of the military into a national service corps, p sychiatrist Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled, etc., argues that physi cal and spiritual salvation no longer can be separated. The only way to com bat the public apathy and "militant ignorance" that allow the arms race to continue lies in grass-roots propagation of the community ideal, which the church and government have lost, argues the author. Individualism plus grou pand self-acceptance, good communication and joint commitment are essential to building a true community whatever its membership and interests. Peck f oresees a new era of integration favorable to a community movement that cal ls for universal application of the personal principles of tolerance and lo ve. Renouncing both policies of appeasement and deterrence, he proposes a " peace through weakness" strategy that dares us to "empty" ourselves of outm oded ideas of security to the extent of facing the economic consequences of eliminating the arms race.
