ISSN: 0022-3433
THIS ARTICLE'S APPROACH IS TO EXAMINE THE CONCEPT OF PEACE AGAINST THE SOCIAL COSMOLOGY OF VARIOUS CIVILIZATIONS SPANNING THE OCCIDENT-ORIENT SPECTRUM. THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE CONCEPTS ARE EXPLORED WITH THE GENERAL HYPO THESIS THAT AS ONE MOVES EASTWARD FROM THE OCCIDENT, PEACE CONCEPTS & POLICIES BECOME MORE INTROVERTED. AN OBVIOUS NEED FOR A DIALOGUE BETWEEN ALL NATIONS IS INDICATED.
