It challenges the dominance of a single, Western, liberal model by exploring the diverse interpretations of peace across different cultures and historical epochs. The author develops a typology of peace interpretations - including the energetic, moral, modern, and postmodern - to demonstrate how different societies understand harmony and conflict resolution. The work culminates in the presentation of the 'transrational' approach, which seeks to integrate these diverse understandings and emphasizes the relational, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of peacebuilding. It serves as a key theoretical resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to move beyond conventional conflict resolution models. -- "This is the first volume in the trilogy 'Many Peaces' on transrational peace and elicitive conflict transformation. It proposes an innovative analysis of peace interpretations in global history and contemporary cultures of peace, the so-called five families of energetic, moral, modern, post-modern, and transrational." -- Contents: Foreword / Christopher Mitchell; 1.
