All we are saying... : Peace Education: Exploring Ethical and Philosophical Foundations by James Page (with a foreword by Koichiro Matsuura) [book review]

Book review of: Peace Education: Exploring Ethical and Philosophical Foundations / by James Page (with a foreword by Koichiro Matsuura) ; Information Age Publishing, Charlotte, NC, USA 2008 ; isbn: 9781593118801. If this monograph was a piece of music, it would be the Andante from Elvira Madrigan. From the very beginning, James Page sets out to deliver to us everything he knows about the underpinnings of ethical philosophy in a sedate and measured tempo. ‘Yes,’ he says, ‘the cautious tone is deliberate’ (p. xvi, preface), and spends the next 200-odd pages being true to his word as he observes the ebb and flow of five ethical traditions.
