Michael Nagler shares what makes Nonviolence so powerful and why it is critical for human evolution.
Description: What are we looking for when we look for nonviolence? Not a non-something, as the name may imply. Nonviolence does of course appear as “non-cooperating with evil,” as Martin Luther King said, but it is also, and primarily and more importantly, “cooperating with good:” engaging the positive energies latent within every one of us, as human beings. This is why it is not only a tool for social change but ultimately nothing less than an enabler of human evolution.
