Émile Arnaud

Émile Arnaud (* 1864 ; † 1921 ) was a French lawyer , notary , pacifist and writer who originally coined the term pacifism in 1901 with his work Code de la Paix .

Émile Arnaud was president of the 1867 founded Ligue Internationale de la Paix et de la Liberté (International League for Peace and Freedom) and suggested in 1901, generally, the different currents and intellectual positions of the peace movement, the term pacifism summarize and their trailers hence as pacifists to describe.

With his writing Arnaud wanted to distance himself from charitable , moralizing , religious or political / politological clauses . With his theory of pacifism he explicitly set a counterpoint to the prevailing tendencies of anarchism , liberalism and socialism at the beginning of the 20th century .

In reflection, Arnaud's theory follows an emotional, but non-political guideline. The consensus should be the mutual understanding that unites peoples, with the deeply humanistic goal of searching for an argumentative, peaceful, non-violent and non-armed conflict solution . Arnaud was referring to groups at the time for the creation of international law that had been formed in many European states since around 1815.

Individual evidence

↑ On the history of the term: the French noun pacifisme coined by Arnaud is derived from the French adjective pacifique , "peace-loving", which has been documented since the 15th century (in analogy to other already existing derivatives such as pacificateur or pacifier ), which in turn comes from the Latin adjective pacificus , " who loves peace ". This is made up of the Latin terms pax (pacem) , "peace" and facere , "to do". (Entry "pacifisme", in: Nouveau petit Robert , edited by Josette Rey-Debove et Alain Rey, Paris: Le Robert, 1996.)
