Summary "Newer Ideals of Peace" by Jane Addams is a treatise on social and moral philosophy written in the early 20th century. The work explores the evolution of peace ideologies, contrasting older pacifist ideals with newer, transformative perspectives that advocate for social justice as a means to achieve lasting peace. It delves into the moral imperatives driving social change and the connections between humanitarian values and governance. At the start of the book, Addams introduces her concept of "newer ideals of peace," emphasizing their dynamic and proactive nature, in contrast to older, more passive notions of peace that rely on pity and prudence. She critiques traditional arguments against war, arguing for the necessity of nurturing a more compassionate society rather than merely seeking to avoid conflict. Through her observations at Hull-House in Chicago, she outlines how the experiences of immigrants and the struggles of marginalized communities reveal the potential for developing a robust, collective moral consciousness that can transcend national boundaries and create a foundation for international cooperation.
