Abstract
“Nonviolence” refers to a commitment to the use of nonviolent tactics to achieve political ends. The commitment to nonviolent tactics is most commonly rooted in moral or religious values, as in the thought of Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, or Martin Luther King. Nonviolence is closely associated with pacifism, but the two are not synonymous. Nonviolence is what happens when pacifism inspires an alternative way of doing politics.
