Amor Radical

Rate this book
O Amor, como força motriz da humanidade, é celebrado por pensadores, filósofos e artistas, por estadistas, religiosos e ateus. O Amor é muito mais do que um sentimento: é uma escolha. Em seu livro Amor Radical, Satish Kumar demonstra que a narrativa ingênua e romântica, muitas vezes vinculada ao Amor, está distante do que acontece quando essa escolha é feita, principalmente quando é realizada com clareza, propósito e organização. Com pequenas histórias e inúmeros exemplos reais, o autor nos indica os passos possíveis e necessários que a humanidade precisa dar em direção do Amor como prática de transformação pessoal, econômica, social e ambiental.

About the author

Satish Kumar

256 books70 followers
Satish Kumar is an Indian, currently living in England, who has been a Jain monk and a nuclear disarmament advocate, and is the current editor of the magazine Resurgence, founder and Director of Programmes of the Schumacher College international centre for ecological studies and of The Small School. His most notable accomplishment is a "peace walk" with a companion to the capitals of four of the nuclear-armed countries-- Washington, London, Paris and Moscow-- a trip of over 8,000 miles. He insists that reverence for nature should be at the heart of every political and social debate. Defending criticism that his goals are unrealistic, he has said, "Look at what realists have done for us. They have led us to war and climate change, poverty on an unimaginable scale, and wholesale ecological destruction. Half of humanity goes to bed hungry because of all the realistic leaders in the world. I tell people who call me 'unrealistic' to show me what their realism has done. Realism is an outdated, overplayed and wholly exaggerated concept."
