Detooling The Language of the Master's House: The Case of Those “Nuclear Things”
The tool of language helps to shape the argument and outcome of a political conflict in much the same way as the availability and selection of tools and materials affect the kind of house a builder will erect. The advocates of abolishing nuclear stockpiles down to absolute zero unwittingly have embraced the same terms or language tools as their opponents. “Banning the bomb” on the basis of its incredibly devastating consequences has failed in par…
Nonviolent speech
The contemporary English language abounds with expressions of violence (as do most other languages). People constantly call upon a violent metaphor when they want to make a salient point.

Comparative Political Biography: Jayaprakash Narayan and Thomas Jefferson
Despite living in eras 200 years apart and coming from radically different cultures, the biographies of political leaders Jayaprakash Narayan and Thomas Jefferson bear a marked resemblance. Not only did these men have many personal traits in common, but their careers tended to follow similar patterns. More importantly, they were in agreement on virtually every crucial aspect of their political thinking. As embodiments of world revolutionary ideal…
