ABSTRACT
Education is a concept which has many meanings and is in many ways very ambiguous; peace is similarly ambiguous. The two together make for a maximum of ambiguity and so it will be necessary to decide what we are to discuss before discussing it. The general plan of this paper is that I shall first define my terms more closely, even if some ambiguity remains. I shall particularly concentrate on the concept of education. Then I shall rather briefly discuss the forms of education which I regard as useful, without, however, having a great deal of confidence in the effectiveness of any of them. Political systems of all countries appear to show a stubborn resistance to new ideas, particularly if they involve long term readjustments of society and indeed they show a curious inability to make, on anything like a rational basis, decisions over the long term as opposed to short term allocation of resources whether these resources are economic or otherwise.
