Nonviolent resistance is one of the most important forms of political and ethical action against oppression, discrimination, and injustice. Centered on Michael N. Nagler's book, this conversation explores how nonviolence can be both a practical strategy and an ethical stance.
In this program, Mohammad Amin Ahmadi, the book's translator, and Arash Naraghi, in conversation with Mohammad Reza Kadivar, examine the relationship between civil resistance, ethics, religion, justice, and freedom. The discussion is not solely focused on the negation of violence, but also addresses the active possibilities of resistance, social organization, and the preservation of human dignity in difficult situations.
This conversation is significant for those interested in moral philosophy, politics, justice, religion, and civil movements, as it demonstrates that nonviolent resistance is neither passivity nor compromise, but a form of responsible action for social change.
