New testimonial for ‘Defining Development’ – A new form of competition, the Humanitarian Competition.

Posted by Fausto Aarya De Santis on May 28, 2010 under Articles, News | 3 Comments to Read

Against a global competition based on military, political or economic force, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi – a forward-thinking geographer, educational theorist and religious reformer, founder, in 1930, of the Soka Gakkai -  defined a new form of competition, what he termed the humanitarian competition.

Makiguchi saw this shift not as merely representing a change in the venue or form of competition, but a qualitative transformation, from a winner-takes-all style of competition, to one conducted within a consciously acknowledged framework of cooperation, what today might be called a “win-win” mode of competition.

This concept of Humanitarian Competition, introduced by Makiguchi about one century ago, has been deepened and developed nowadays by Daisaku Ikeda, the current President of Soka Gakkai, with its Peace Proposal to the United Nations (2009)
