A Dialogue - Linus Pauling and Daisaku Ikeda

Showcasing the central ideas and fundamental values of two of the leading pacifist minds
of recent times, A Lifelong Quest for Peace ranges over such perennially critical themes as ethics
and technology, the appropriate use to which science should be put, the nature of morality and the
human quest for progress, justice and equality. Both richly anecdotal and warmly engaging, the discussions offer fascinating insights into and recollections from the interlocutors’ early lives and subsequent careers. Pauling and Ikeda thereby demonstrate through warm personal example the essential and lasting value of constructive conversation between people of different backgrounds and contrasting cultures.
