Newer Ideals of Peace, published in 1907 by Jane Addams, is a treatise on social and moral philosophy that critiques traditional pacifist ideals. Addams contrasts older notions of peace with transformative perspectives that advocate for social justice as a pathway to lasting peace. Drawing on her experiences at Hull-House in Chicago, she emphasizes the importance of compassion and collective moral consciousness in addressing the challenges posed by industrialism, militarism, and urban diversity. This work remains relevant for its insights into the interplay of social justice and governance.
