Overview

In this urgently needed book, Marc Crepon addresses the nature of hatred and its manifestations in international and domestic terrorism, racism, war and other forms of violence. Looking at the evidence of violence motivated by hatred, including US racial segregation, South African apartheid and the terrorist attacks in New York City in 2001 and in Paris in 2015, Crepon makes a compelling case for why hatred is the burden of our times.With inspiration from the non-violence resistance movements of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr., Crepon reveals how philosophy and literature, using courage and a new language, can overcome the many forms of hatred and violence present in our lives today.

Cr�pon's The Trial of Hatred is an extremely timely book that asks how it is possible to continue to support peace, to be on the side of non-violence, in the face of widespread violence, in short, how it is possible to face and survive the trial of hatred in times of conflict and war.--Michael Naas, DePaul University
