In the 25 years since the first Japanese and English language editions of the Peccei-Ikeda dialogues, science and technology have opened new frontiers of industry and productivity.
The dialogue recorded here can be characterised as a vital bridge much like the ancient Silk Road, connecting the easternmost and westernmost civilisations of Asia.
Born of their struggles to uphold human rights this dialogue represents the coming together of two kindred spirits, Austregésilo de Athayde (1898-1993) and Daisaku Ikeda.
