The central conflicts of the world today are closely related to cultural, traditional and religious differences between nations. As we move to a globalized world, these differences often become magnified, entrenched and the cause of bloody conflict. Growing out of a conference of distinguished scholars from the MiddleEast, Europe and the United States, this volume is a singular contribution to mutual understanding and cooperative efforts on behalf of peace. The term paideia, drawn from Greek philosophy, has to do with responsible education for citizenship as a necessary precondition for effective democracy. (From the Publisher)
