Triumph of Civilization examines the concept of democracy and the related concept of nonviolence in the light of the global crises we face at the dawn of the 21st century. It develops a deeper understanding of democracy that is inherently nonviolent and fundamentally holistic. It analyzes our contemporary world in terms of both current forms of democracy and the extent of its violence, showing that our contemporary civilization is both profoundly undemocratic and intrinsically violent. It shows the way out of our current set of interdependent crises through establishing an Earth Federation that actualizes, under a world constitution, the three most fundamental features of authentic democracy: positive freedom, reasonable economic equality, and a global community premised on the many human universals that we all share as well as the common good of the Earth and future generations.
