Abstract
Nonviolence is an umbrella term for ways of life or the conducting of conflict in ways that do not permit the doing of harm to humans. For some it provides a coherent and principled philosophy for living in harmony with other humans as a well integrated and grounded person. For others it is employed pragmatically as a useful set of tactics which can be used in fights for social justice. Since the overthrow of Marcos in the Philippines and the major upheavals in Eastern Europe and other nondemocracies, along with the rise of activist and particularly peace-related social movements, nonviolence and nonviolent action as a method of political change has become increasingly important.
