Synopsis "the nonviolent alternative"

The writings in this work were precipitated by a variety of events during the last decades of Merton's life - the civil rights and peace movements of the 1960s among them. His timeless moral integrity and tireless concern for nonviolent solutions to war are eloquently expressed.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was an American Trappist monk, writer, and poet, known for his works on spirituality, mysticism, and social justice. His most influential book, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948), is a spiritual autobiography that became a classic of religious literature. Other notable works include New Seeds of Contemplation (1961) and Mystics and Zen Masters (1966), where he explores the contemplative life and social responsibility from faith.

Merton wrote about interfaith dialogue, especially with Buddhism and Hinduism, influencing modern spiritual thought. His writings combine philosophical depth with accessible prose, making him one of the most relevant figures of the 20th century in the religious and humanist fields.
