Polarization simplifies and deforms language, ideas, and people and reduces social life into an oppositional binary based on harmful "us versus them" narratives. What can we do to bring about a transformation away from polarity to peace? What are the polarities obscuring the path to peace? Is it a question of belief versus belief? Does it make sense to appeal to reason, discourse, and compromise in a polarized climate? What is the difference between harmful and helpful polarities? In the pursuit of peace and justice, the authors in this volume answer these and other questions relating to polarity and politics.
