Identity and Violence

Identity and Violence by Amartya Sen Fba

In this sweeping philosophical work, Amartya Sen proposes that the murderous violence that has riven our society is driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Challenging the reductionist division of people by race, religion, and class, Sen presents an inspiring vision of a world that can be made to move toward peace as firmly as it has spiraled in recent years toward brutality and war.

"Sen is now Asia’s preeminent philosopher of freedom. . . This is an indispensable book." -- Anwar Ibrahim, former deputy prime minister of Malaysia
"Amartya Sen brings to our generation a new and modern vision of how to obtain peace." -- George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics
"Amartya Sen, one of the world’s great thinkers, tells us how to go about building a more peaceful world. I hope the book will be read by all." -- Ted Turner

Amartya Sen is a professor of economics and philosophy at Harvard University. A former master of Trinity College, Cambridge, he won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1998. His many celebrated books include Development as Freedom and The Idea of Justice.
