Dr. Thomas Daffern
Each work published by the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy (IIPSGP) is intended to make a lasting contribution to urgent ongoing debate in the international intellectual community in our search for peace, justice and spiritual community and fellowship. Based on over 20 years of solid in depth scholarship into the world's diverse philosophical and spiritual systems undertaken by IIPSGP Director, Thomas C. Daffern, these works are intended to inspire and educate a whole new generation of thinkers and scholars from across the world. One of the goals of these IIPSGP publications is to ask some vital questions of the power structures that govern our planet today: are they leading us wisely? Are those in power conscious of the moral and spiritual aspects of their work? How can education support and nourish the task ahead - the forging of a peaceful world in which each faith, each community, each individual, can feel truly supported and recognised as having absolute value ? IIPSGP publications are designed to show a way to a world based on peace, non-violence, wisdom, love and beauty. Taking the 9 Muses of Classical philosophy and scholarship as their guardians, the work of IIPSGP publications is to support and inspire all who would belong to a world based on the living values and ideals of peace, creativity and cooperation rather than violence, conflict and destruction.

SELECTED POEMS 1971 – 2005 VOLUME TWO
This 2nd volume of poetry represents the author's poetic oeuvre covering a more recent time span, from the 1990's to 2005, and covers a wide ranging attempt to articulate the mysteries of existence. The poems are a testimony to the living power of the Muses as inspirers and guardians of insight and wisdom, to harness our ability of seership and higher knowing in the struggle for planetary peace and wisdom in a time of confusion and tragedy. The author believes that it is time for the poets of the world to stand together and raise their combined voices in inspired warning and guidance, to give hope and vision and courage to all those working for peace and social and civil justice, for an end to persecution, oppression, poverty and violence of every kind. It includes a sequence of poems entitled A Shropshire Lass, which are a conscious re-invocation of A.E. Houseman's A Shropshire Lad in a more contemporary key.

MUSINGS VOLUME 3: 1991-1992
This volume documents a crucial period of the author’s life in London and the UK, working on a peace studies project at the University of London and its follow through phase, during the first Gulf War. Having been elected as coordinator of International Philosophers for Peace in Moscow in 1990, it was with a growing sense of unease and dismay that he witnessed the breakdown of international relations both in the Middle East and the Balkans region. The International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy was launched during this time to try to marshal the world's leading minds in the cause of conflict resolution and peace-making, and inter-philosophical dialogue, at a critical time in our planetary history. This work documents in full the story of these developments.
