A Selection of Reflections on The Will-to-Good: Rethinking International Relationships preparing for the online World Goodwill Seminar If we want a society in which the sense of belonging is strong, people are concerned for one another, and there is strong commitment to the common good, we need a metaphysics that shows that we are in fact part of larger societies and have no existence apart from our relations to others.  John Cobb To ask the ‘right’ question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.  J. Krishnamurti Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled and there are no excuses for allowing them to be eternal. Martti Ahtisaari Read all the reflections here > Three events broadcast from three planetary centres Online Zoom events will take place in Geneva, London and New York.
