CONCEPT OF PEACE
It is well known that human beings pay much
interest in peace from the ancient time until
now. It can be stated that peace is the greatest
and highest goal or hope that everyone wishes
to achieve personally and expects to be created
in society and in the world.
Meanings Of Peace
Literally, the word “peace” is derived from
the original Latin word “pax” which means
a pact, a control or an agreement to end
war or any dispute and conflict between
two people, two nations or two
antagonistic groups of people.
Definitions Of Peace
• the word peace essentially means ―”the
absence of war”. (American military history)
• Peace is not merely the absence of war but
the presence of justice, of law, of order – in
short, of government. (Albert Einstein)
Definitions Of Peace
• True peace is not merely the absence of
tension: It is the presence of justice.
(Martin Luther King)
• Peace is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition
for benevolence, confidence and justice.
(Baruch Spinoza )
Definitions Of Peace
• Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a
condition of mind brought about by a serenity
of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of
war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace
can come only to peaceful people.
(Jawaharlal Nehru)
Types of peace
Generally, peace is classified into two
types:
Internal peace
and
External peace
Internal Peace
• Internal peace is called by another word
“inner peace” is peace of mind or soul. It is a
state of calm, serenity and tranquility of mind
that arise due to having no sufferings or
mental disturbances such as worry, anxiety,
greed, desire, hatred, ill-will ,delusion and/or
other defilements. Internal peace is peace
within oneself
According to Lao Tzu‘s famous saying:
• If there is to be peace in the world,
• there must be peace in the nations.
• If there is to be peace in the nations, there must
be peace in the cities.
• If there is to be peace in the cities, there must be
peace between neighbors
• If there is to be peace between neighbors, there
must be peace in the home.
• If there is to be peace in the home, there must be
peace in the heart.
External Peace
• External peace is peace that occurs in society,
nations and the world; it is a normal state of
society, countries and the world and it is a
state of peaceful and happy co-existence of
people as well as nature. External peace, in
order to see it clearly, can be described in its
negative and positive sense as follows;
• negative sense: the absence of war,
hostility, agitation, social disorder,
disturbances, social injustice, social
inequality, violence, violation of human
rights, riot, terrorism, ecological imbalance,
etc.,
• positive sense: a state of social harmony,
social justice, social equality, friendship or
friendly relation, concord, public order and
security, respect for human rights and
ecological balance, etc.
Internal peace and external peace
are interrelated. Both are
interdependent and help support
each other. Internal peace
represents individual‘s peace while
external peace represents peace in
society.
Some More Important Types Of Peace
• Intrapersonal peace: the state of peace within
man himself that means there is no conflict
inside one‘s mind.
• Interpersonal peace: the state of peace
between a man and men; there are no
conflicts between a man and men or one
another.
Intragroup peace: the state of peace
within groups; the state of having no
conflicts in groups.
Intergroup peace: the state of peace
between group and group; the state of
having no conflicts among groups.
Intraracial peace: the state of peace
within race; the state of having no
conflicts in each race.
Interracial peace: the state of peace
between race and races; the state of having
no conflicts among races.
Intranational peace: the state of peace
within nations or countries; the state of
having no conflicts in each nation or
country.
International peace: the state of peace
between a nation and the nations; the state
of having no conflicts among nations.
World peace: peace of the world. It means
that the countries throughout the world are
said to be in the state of normalcy, absence
of wars and conflicts, presence of justice and
balance of control.
Thank You
