ABSTRACT
Peaceful living has become
increasingly difficult to attain in today’s world of globalization,
modernization, mechanization, and competition for existing resources on all
levels. Conflicts and violence are intensified due to population explosion,
food insecurity, climate change, ecological and economic disaster, political
and religious differences, and wars over territories and scarce resources.
Additionally, health concerns are increasing, which can be partially linked to
our current chemical-oriented agricultural and industrial practices.
Furthermore, diverse life species are endangered from habitat loss,
urbanization, and farming. By losing natural land and native species, we are
losing ecosystem diversity. In an era when our planetary existence is
threatened, what are the world’s communities doing to save our collective
existence? This paper, based on India’s intellectual traditions, proposes a
conceptual model or a system of philosophy of three related categories—diversity,
ethics, and peace—for understanding diversity and differences at all levels of existence,
individual (biological), collective (socio-cultural), and planetary
(cosmological). The main purpose is to make this interdisciplinary study part
of an educational philosophy for the creation of civilized societies that will
value all lives on the basis of equitability, and recognize ethics of dignity,
respect, liberty, justice, and peace.
