- Abstract
This article explores the concept of nonkilling and its increasing presence in academia and research. Nonkilling refers to the absence of killing and conditions that lead to killing in human society. The article argues that nonkilling is not only possible but also necessary for mental health and peace. It discusses evidence from various disciplines to challenge the belief that humans are inherently violent and emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and the inclusion of nonkilling alternatives in academic research and social practice. The article also highlights the efforts of the Center for Global Nonkilling in promoting research and establishing a network of Nonkilling Research Committees. However, it acknowledges the challenges faced by nonkilling research due to lack of funding and institutional support. The article concludes by stating that nonkilling is a crucial contribution to the advancement of knowledge and action for the continuation of human and planetary life.
