The intention of this book is to explore the paradoxical nature of traditional education and childrearing to see if, in the name of raising healthy children, we are actually destroying them in the process. This book looks at our social institutions, the structures we have created in society that mold behavior, to see what influence they have had in the growth of the young person, and to see if these structures have ironically brought about global violence under the guise of peace. Going beyond these structures this book delves into the roots of our discontent to look at the fundamental source of conflict, the paradoxical knot with the psyche itself - to examine the 'myth of the individual.'

Facing the Double Edged Sword: The Art of Karate for Young People (Education for Peace Series)

Education for Peace Pubns

Violence is too often portrayed as a heroic cultural ideal, one that accepts fighting as an honorable solution to conflict. This attitude has allowed human beings to justify solving the problems of relationship by aggressive, combative means.  Karate, as a martial art, is meant to be practiced as an art, as a way to end conflict by nonviolent means, not just by having the confidence not to fight, but, more important, to end conflict at its source within the human mind. This paradoxical intent becomes clear when one begins to understand oneself, which the art of karate gives the student the opportunity to do. In understanding oneself, the student comes into direct contact with the origin of conflict, the foundation of violence. This confrontation with oneself is the essence of the art, the primary reason why serious people study karate.    Karate: The Art of Empty Self  is not a manual on self-defense. Nor is this work a philosophical or intellectual interpretation of the martial arts. Instead, this book clearly addresses, as no martial arts book has done before, the underlying intent of karate and the martial arts. In simple, straightforward language, it inquires into the roots of conflict.
