Descrizione
Riepilogo:2023 marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most important yearly "Peace Proposals" of Soka Gakkai third President Daisaku Ikeda, the one he published in 2003. While the attention at the time might have focused on the political comments he made after the war in Afghanistan and on the eve of the second war in Iraq, the paper argues that his dialogue with French 17th-century philosopher Blaise Pascal and the proposal of a "life-sized paradigm" for peace are the most important features of Ikeda's text. In 2023, Ikeda has also published a statement on the G7 Hiroshima Summit. Here again, the paper argues that beyond political contingency the text is deeply rooted in a spiritual paradigm calling to the conversion of the heart as the only way to avoid a nuclear apocalypse.
