Leading philosophers debate the possibility of enhancing human cognition, mood, personality, and physical performance, and controlling aging. Would this take us beyond the bounds of human nature? These are questions that need to be answered now. - ;To what extent should we use technology to try to make better human beings? Because of the remarkable advances in biomedical science, we must now find an answer to this question. Human enhancement aims to increase human capacities above normal levels.

Daisaku Ikeda's opening words to this consistently wide-ranging dialogue set the scene for what follows. For the theme of the book is that of the meeting of minds that follows interaction between peoples who might be geographically distant but who share much in common. Reflecting on his memories of standing on the shores of the Bosphorus, gazing at the adjacent coastlines of Europe and Asia, Ikeda explores the symbol of diversity represented by the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul. The city in which his interlocutor, distinguished social anthropologist Nur Yalman, grew up, remains an icon of ethnic plurality. This reflection leads the authors towards lively exploration of the customs and cultural mores shared by Japan and Turkey: two countries which historically stand at opposite ends of the great trading route that was the Silk Road, but which have old traditions of reciprocity and friendship.At the heart of this book lies these two men's mutual commitment to what they characterise as 'soft peace', or the attempt to resolve conflict through empathic engagement with those who hold alternative views. Touching on such vital themes as inter-religious dialogue, education, the environment and those common aspects of humanity which all persons share, "A Passage to Peace" represents an inspiring contribution to the modern discourse on ethics, peace studies and religion."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aCultural pluralism$zJapan 606 $aCultural pluralism$zTurkey 606 $aMulticulturalism$zJapan 606 $aMulticulturalism$zTurkey 606 $aPeace 606 $aInternational relations$2BIC 607 $aJapan$xRelations$zTurkey 607 $aJapan$xReligious life and customs 607 $aTurkey$xRelations$zJapan 607 $aTurkey$xReligious life and customs 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aPeace. 615 7$aInternational relations. 676 $a303.48409561 700 $aYalman$b Nur$0483864 702 $aIkeda$b Daisaku 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787590503321 996 $aA passage to peace$93730084 997 $aUNINA
