Fever in the World of the Mind

Fever in the World of the Mind presents an integrated formulation of violence, taking into consideration its biological, psychological, social, and spiritual roots. The author, Dr. H.B. Danesh, President of the International Education for Peace Institute, draws from his work over four decades as a university professor, psychiatrist, and peace educator, as well as from his research and writings on the psychology of spirituality. He brings his wide-ranging knowledge and expertise together and presents them in an integrated formulation on how to understand and prevent violence. The book outlines some of the unique dimensions of human violence. In doing so it departs significantly from the current broadly held views that human violence and animal violence are fundamentally the same, both shaped and replenished primarily by the biological and evolutionary forces. Fever in the World of the Mind is the sixth volume in the Education for Peace Integrative Curriculum Series.
