The Living Dialogue Socrates to Ikeda

The Living Dialogue Socrates to Ikeda – ‘Dialogue — today’s most powerful human action for building peace’
by N.Radhakrishnan, Gandhi Media Centre

Authored by N. Radhakrishnan, intellectual, peace activist, trainer of non-violence, Gandhian scholar and editor/writerof 50 books, this book is his fifth in Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and SGI President Daisaku Ikeda. Focusing on President Ikeda’s numerous dialogues spanning over 40 years, Dr Radhakrishnan studies the importance of dialogues in human history from 2,400 years ago. He also examines the attitude and way in which President Ikeda — the ‘evangelist of dialogue’ — uses dialogues to spread the brilliance of life, promote peace and unite humankind. In the modern world where there is an explosion of communication and information technology, growing pessimism, impersonality and insensitivity of others’ lives, the need for heart-to-heart dialogues has become more urgent. His studies explore President Ikeda’s boundless genius and creativity in dealing with all types of people, exchanging on a mind-boggling variety of topics, and producing ‘masterpieces’ of dialogues.

A Quest for Global Peace

A Quest for Global Peace – Roblat and Ikeda on War, Ethics and the Nuclear Threat
by Joseph Roblat and Daisaku Ikeda, I.B. Tauris

The exchanges between Sir Joseph Rotblat and Daisaku Ikeda read like an absorbing textbook for understanding the deeper currents of humanity’s struggle to live with itself in an age of nuclear arms. Rotblat is known for his conscience in leaving the Manhattan Project to take up the then unpopular cause of nuclear arms non-proliferation, co-founding with Bertrand Russell the Pugwash conferences in 1957 to discuss the new global insecurities of an arms race. He shares with Ikeda the view that the application of 20th-century science and technology requires a 21st-century growth in newfound wisdom arising from basic human values that transcend the limitations of knowledge and state sovereignty alone. This series of dialogues published on the 50th anniversary of the historic Pugwash conferences and second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda’s Declaration Against Nuclear Weapons – both a 20th-century legacy to the younger generations of the 21st century on whom now rests humanity’s hope to banish nuclear arms and war from the face of Earth.
