Character Education and Human Development - Philosophical Perspective for a Culture of Peace East & West
- Written by: Dr. Walther Lichem, Former Head, Department of International Organizations, Foreign Ministry, Austria
The global agendas for the 21st century are marked by an enhanced focus on the human being, on the citizen and on societies in addition to the traditional addressing of issues related to governments and states. Peace is not any more the achievement of governmental armament, defended borders and related policies but, as the title of our meeting indicates, the result of value structures of societal cultures carried by the human being and by societies.
