    • Abstract:
      With the term 'goodness-force' an ideal typical model is presented. It is based on different approaches developed and successfully implemented by three protagonists: the Catholic Hildegard Goss-Mayr, the Hindu Mohandas K. Gandhi, and the atheist Bart de Ligt. The synthetized model is an attempt to describe the common core of the various traditions of nonviolence, namely the conception of how nonviolent action typically works. Three manifestations can be differentiated: goodness-force as a pattern of interaction, a concept for behavior, and a human potential. This concept can be practiced on six levels including steps of escalation. The chief elements of impact are action by committed individuals, 'contagion', and mass non-cooperation built on these two.
