Dear Glen, I gladly and gratefully read your philosophical response and appreciate your ideas and recognition of GPS. In general, I agree with them, but some corrections are require. 1. I think that there is a fifth antinomy of Kant: "the nature (or the natural state) of people is war" (he shared the idea of ??Hobbes's natural war of all against all) and "the nature of people is peace". I quoted him in this regard and in my article and in the GHA Letter. How else can understand his similar judgments: "harmony among men is ... nature", "nature guarantees perpetual peace", nature ?finally assures peace? and etc. I've never seen this Kant?s antinomy and never met it in the philosophical literature. Obviously, it requires a special philosophical study in the future. Maybe one of your graduate students will interested in it? I want to add one more important idea: GPS suggests that a war state is a natural only for the animals, but for people as social beings a natural is the state of spontaneous peace of spheral harmonious classes, which the GPS transform into their state of conscious harmonious peace, so only on the basis of GPS possible conscious public contract between the nations, that is the Earth Constitution. Reasonable contract between nations can only begin with science. Do you agree with that? Of course, on the other hand, only this contract does GPS by practice. Therefore, they are inseparable. 2. I fully agree with your idea that the "objectivity" is not only scientific, it is also moral". 3. I fully agree with your idea that peace can be established only in the Republic of nations and states on the basis of Kantian moral imperative and public contract. But for a deeper understanding of this need requires GPS. 4. I fully share your wonderful idea: "The study of peace (the need for a GPS) and the moral obligation to live under the Earth Constitution are coextensive and simultaneous, one does not come before the other". Yes, these are two sides of the same coin. They are inseparable and simultaneous. 5. I agree that the text of my article requires to correct in specified you terms. But the text of the GHA letters to the G20 leaders is free from them. They are two different text. I will send only letter that you are approved. (Could you edit the letter text?) The article will be the basis for a new peace project GHA in September. Therefore, it will change and expand. However, I note, the social sciences, including GPS find the same eternal structures and laws, as well as physics, chemistry and biology. 6. I also generally agree with your idea of ??the World Parliament under the aegis of which the complete disarmament is possible and real. Your version of my segment on disarmament will be included in a new project in September. But here is the key issue in structuring this Parliament in accordance with four harmonious spheral classes of the population as a global social structure in GPS. The Parliament of global democracy should include four equal-sized groups of elected representatives from the four spheral classes of the population. Would you ready to include this idea into your Constitution? May I suggest for our discussion in the September my respective edition of your Constitution? This idea is basis for the concept of global democracy in GPS. I used this idea for the first time in 1992, when I created on this basis ?the Group/Fraction of Spheral Democracy? as the sprout of global democracy in the city parliament of St. Petersburg, the member of which I was (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=58; See also on the Spheral Democracy as Global Democracy here: www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=196 etc.). This idea have the source of Charles Montesquieu's fundamental law of democracy, which is ignored by the democratic Constitutions, but revives in this sprout: "Durability and prosperity of democracy always depend on the correct division into classes of the population having the right to vote" (Charles Montesquieu. Selected works. About Spirit of Laws. Moscow, 1955, p. 171-172). The correct division, at GPS, is the spheral division of the population. What do you think of this key idea for both of us? If we take it, then, indeed, GPS and your Constitution are two sides of the same coin. But we must also examine the theoretical possibility of transition state between the peace contract of the states-nations within the UN on basis of their recognition of GPS and the World Parliament on the basis of the Earth Constitution. Please, let us discuss this issue also in September. 7. I'm very glad to you CSSS optimism regarding its funding at $60,000. Maybe we could arrange the financing and execution of this study under your leadership within your wonderful interdisciplinary Peace Studies at Radford University? (Where I could read about your Peace Center on-line?) That would be the best option for all, for you, for your Constitution, your University and for the GHA, and for our joint creativity and collaboration. This will ensure "promoting both World Parliament and GPS simultaneously, not one before the other". What do you think of this possibility and this way? Thank you very much for your detailed clarification, the conclusion of which was your great idea, fully shared by me: "We absolutely need both GPS and a global social contract to establish peace." I'm very happy with our joint scientific cooperation.

Congratulations to all GHA Members! 30 July 2013 Dear Leo, Please do not misunderstand me. I am a strong advocate of a global science of peace (GPS). First, I agree with you that people have scientifically studied war in the past but we need to establish the scientific study of peace. I do not deny that the study of peace is ?objective? as you put it. I very much agree that we need to be studying peace across the board from every scientific discipline. I am Chair of the interdisciplinary program in Peace Studies at Radford University and our faculty study peace from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives. But the ?objectivity? is not only scientific, it is also moral. For the concept of ?peace? itself is a moral concept involving the evaluative assumptions that peace is better than war, that justice is better than injustice, that freedom is better than slavery, and that truth is better than falsehood, and that harmony is better than disharmony. Values must be understood as part of the ?objective? study of peace. With all due respect, Kant did not say the condition of peace was natural, he said that the ?natural? state was one of war. Peace, he said, had to be ?established.? What establishes peace and moves people from the condition of what he called ?savages? and ?barbarians? to civilized human beings is the social contract to create republican government over all citizens. It is the categorical imperative, both in its principle of universality and its principle of ?the end in itself?, that mandates the establishing of peace under a social contract. Hence, the basis of just and peaceful human social relations is moral: it is the categorical imperative. In Perpetual Peace, Article 2, Kant then applies this principle to the warring sovereign nation-states: they are at war (an immoral ?natural? condition), precisely because they have not established peace in the form of a republican constitution over all of them that outlaws war and institutes the rule of enforceable law over everyone. The social contract is a moral contract: human beings make the moral decision to live under universal laws equally applicable to all persons. That is why I believe it is our moral obligation to commit ourselves to the Earth Constitution, because, as Kant pointed out, the condition of living in warring sovereign nation-states places us in an immoral relation (which he called war) to all persons in other states around the world. Committing to the Earth Constitution is not a just a useful idea, or another means for promoting peace, or a brilliant suggestion for the future. It is, in Kant?s language, our absolute moral obligation to leave the condition of war and establish peace under the universal rule of republican law for all persons. The study of peace (the need for a GPS) and the moral obligation to live under the Earth Constitution are coextensive and simultaneous, one does not come before the other. Secondly, my problem with your letter to the G-20 is that your account of GPS does not appear convincing to me and by extension I do not think it would be convincing to people in the G-20. For example, you write: Eternal global peace is a natural, normal and healthy state of the spheral classes of population and - together with them - society in a whole. This social nature generates and guarantees global peace by spontaneous and harmonious spheral classes of the population. Therefore, the spheral classes and their natural harmony are the eternal foundation of global peace. From this follows the shortest definition of global peace ? IT IS PEACE FROM HARMONY, which is created and constantly recreated by spheral classes. The war between them is not possible, since the death of at least one spheral class means the cessation of production of one of necessary resources that leads to death of all spheral classes and society as a whole. The analytically trained minds participating in the G-20 meetings would challenge the concept ?eternal? (what has this got to do with science?), the concept of ?normal and healthy? (a very difficult concept for psychology or sociology to define), the idea that something ?guarantees? peace, the idea that ?war between them is not possible,? etc. If you want to convince them of something, you need to begin where they are thinking and show them a credible alternative. I do not think this letter accomplished that goal. Nevertheless, as I send in my last letter to you, I would be happy to send the letter as written if you think it is OK this way. If you think this might influence the people at the G-20, then I am happy to help get the letter to them. But, third, my only hesitation was your prediction of reducing military spending and using the UN as the locus for a global peace corps as follows: This science opens up an effective way for the complete disarmament of humanity in the 21st century, during 50 years to reduce military spending by 2% annually by all countries (www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=529) and for transformation of the armed forces of war into the armed forces of global peace. These forces could form a "Global Peace Corps" of the 21st century under the UN aegis for peaceful harmonious education, health, construction, ensuring food and water and overcoming of unemployment. Of course, peace building requires other weapons than for war, but just as well-trained and scientifically prepared professionals. Only in this way can we approach the embodiment a great dream of Martin Luther King Jr.: "We must shift the arms race into a peace race." This appears to presuppose an evolutionary model of gradually reducing weapons and promoting peace under the UN a world peace corps that will move the word steadily in the right direction without having to change the system of sovereign nation-states that are the root of the problem. If this is what is assumed, it appears to me to violate the basic Kantian insight that peace cannot ?evolve? within a system of sovereign nation-states for that system is inherently a war-system. Peace must be established, and it must be established by ratifying a republican Constitution over all peoples and nations. Dear Leo, it is this and only this in your letter that I think needs to be modified. I think this segment of your letter should read something like ?This science opens up an effective way for the complete disarmament of humanity in the 21st century through the creation of a World Parliament and the initiation of the universal rule of just and enforceable laws for the Earth. The military forces of the world could form a ?Global Peace Corps? under the aegis of the World Parliament for peaceful harmonious education, health, construction, ensuring food and water and the overcoming of unemployment.? As I wrote for GHA earlier, there is indeed a new holistic paradigm emerging in human consciousness that is activated by the discoveries of 20th century sciences of the holism of human society, the biosphere, and the universe. Both your GPS and the Earth Constitution are manifestations of this holistic paradigm. The reason I said that the Earth Constitution must first be ratified and then it could fund GPS is because I do not think the warring system of nation-states, nor global corporate capitalism will be interested in funding it. A peace system (an established world peace under a republican constitution) would naturally fund GPS. The present world war-system of militarized sovereign nations recognizing no enforceable laws over themselves, would not be interested. I am all for finding funding for GPS, and $60,000 is not much and might well be found. I hope so. But if we really want an influential and world-transforming GPS, then it must be coextensive with a world peace system. And if we really want to transform the world war-system to a peace system, then we should be promoting both World Parliament and GPS simultaneously, not one before the other. Anyway, I hope this clarifies what I wanted to say in my last letter to you. We absolutely need both GPS and a global social contract to establish peace. Both are ?objective? in Kant?s sense, for the morality of the social contract is based on the objective principle of the Categorical Imperative. Thanks so much for your wonderful willingness to dialogue and your passionate devotion to the cause of peace. In peace and harmony, Glen Martin Dr. Glen T. Martin President, World Constitution and Parliament Assoc.

Congratulations to all GHA Members! Dear Glen, Thank you very much for your insightful and not easy comments on which I have long meditated. 1. I basically agree with your assessments to the G20 essence. But we have to take into account the need for world leaders to reckon with world opinion. And if we as peacemakers will form a view towards the recognition of the Global Peace Science (GPS), then they will have to reckon with it and work with and for this science. We also have to try to convince world leaders in the need and usefulness of the GPS for them and for world economic growth. I define these arguments in the GHA letter to G20, which I will send to the discussion of GHA members in the coming days. 2. Your second opinion with denial of the GPS possibility contradicts the first with a desire to develop the GPS in accordance with the Earth Constitution (EC). Your first view was refuted even by Immanuel Kant, who found an objective source and guarantor of global peace in the "harmony between people" as "social nature". As you know, the main criteria of any science - is an objective basis. It exist. In GPS the Kantian source/nature of global peace developed in 16 objective fundamental elements of social harmony. You can not deny them as an objective reality, as they are obvious and besides are logical, necessary and sufficient. I do not know what you do not understand in these 16 elements, the main among them are 4 resources, 4 process of them production and 4 spheres of them production. They are long been proved by science, particularly Smith, Marx, Weber, Parsons, Braudel, Toffler, Bourdieu and many others in one way or another, the ideas of whom were analyzed me in many of my works, in particular, ?Tetrasociology: Responses to Challenges" (2002: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/docs/2-1_eng.pdf). Therefore, the assertion that there is no objective foundations for GPS is unfounded and does not hold water. The objective grounds for GPS more than enough. For what it lacks in humanity so far, so it's mind, which was enough to create 200 years ago the science of war, but still not enough to create the peace science and to live in peace science all the time, and not in between the wars and endless preparing them. So, if humanity will perish, first of all because of their stupidity and ignorance, that naturally. As I pointed out, "natural harmony," which ?guarantees perpetual peace? has been known for Kant still at 1795. Unfortunately, since then, at the philosophers and scientists are not mind enough to reveal its fundamental elements, which were disclosed only most perfectly in the ABC of Harmony for World Peace, which you rated as "Our New Planetary Paradigm, the fundamental revolution in science and paradigm shift in human consciousness"(p. 296). We thought that your appreciation of the ABC was caused primarily by objective elements of harmony, disclosed in it. But now you, if I'm not mistaken, waive from this assessment and recognition of these elements. Or am I wrong? Please, correct your position: to what believe - that you write in a letter or in a book? 3. Your EC is great, but it lacks a scientific basis, which enables it to GPS or the science of global harmony, which is the same. You write in your brilliant article in the ABC "World Constitution for Harmonious Civilization" about ?an in-depth principle of peace, in which the harmony of life with freedom and justice becomes the guiding paradigm for life" (pp. 108-109). Brilliantly! I would like to offer you to develop your Constitution in this direction. I will provide you with the appropriate additions in the near future, in September. I am also very much hope on CSSS, which will convince you and any with facts of existence of four spheral classes of the population as a harmonious but spontaneous actors of global peace. 4. You write that EC must the first be established and then can be created GPS: ?The first step is to ratify the Constitution and then, if there is to be a GPS, the Earth Federation government will fund and organize this?. I think the opposite: scientific knowledge of objective foundations, sources, actors and guarantors of peace is the primary basis for the EC, which can be understood and recognized by all nations, people and governments only on the basis of this science. There may be several versions of the ECs the choice of which can best be only on scientific criteria. Ratification of the EC can only be based on science. Or on anything else other than it maybe? Do you agree with that? Other single and common for humanity criterion for its objectivity does not exist. This criterion can not be any culture (it is different at all nations), nor religion (there are several world religions), or ethics (there are many ethical systems), etc. On this basis, the main subject of theoretical (intellectual) concerns for any EC is its scientific objective foundation. Here I am ready to cooperate with you for a better scientific basis of your wonderful Constitution. Are you willing to work in this direction? Of course, your Constitution based on the GPS will be included in the GHA letter to G20 and you could edit it. I do not discuss other, more specific issues related to disarmament, Peace Corps, and etc., as a key is to overcome the main theoretical obstacle: what comes first and as a priority: the Constitution or GPS, scientific knowledge or legal form, etc.? In any case, it is very important not only for us but for all members of the GHA theoretical question, for which I am very grateful to you.

However, my first point is that when they meet at the G-20, I doubt if any will care about this document. The G-20 is not about peace, and the imperial nations leading the G-20 do not want peace but rather global domination in the service of their ruling, wealthy classes. The economic rules devised by G-20 (and other such meetings) are rules for keeping the G-20 wealthy (and hence imposed on the rest of the nations who are kept poor because they are in a system of exploitation). For several of the G-20, great profits are made through the production and sale of weapons worldwide. The G-20 countries are there to keep their profits flowing in, and wars are very profitable. They have no interest in peace. Second, with all due respect, your document on Global Peace Science (GPS) makes little sense to me. It does not clarify for me what GPS is, it does not convince me that a GPS is possible, and it does not show me an intelligible framework for developing a GPS. Perhaps a key passage is early in the document when you define the key elements in a GPS: The necessary and sufficient, therefore, eternal, natural and harmonious resources are: PEOPLE, INFORMATION, ORGANIZATION and THINGS (material goods and services). The lack of even one of them in a certain proportion (harmony and measure) with others would make the existence of human and society impossible The necessary and sufficient resources determine as necessary and sufficient, therefore, eternal, natural and harmonious spheres of their constant and continuous production: SOCIOSPHERE, INFOSPHERE, ORGSPHERE, TECHNOECOSPHERE (economic and ecological spheres together). The necessary and sufficient spheres of production determine as necessary and sufficient, therefore, eternal, natural and harmonious spheral classes of the population working (or employed/engaged) in these spheres and therefore called spheral classes - SOCIOCLASS, INFOCLASS, ORGCLASS, TECHNOCLASS. The necessary and sufficient spheral classes as eternal, natural and harmonious creators/actors of any society are its global social structure. They are at one time a NATURAL HARMONIOUS ACTORS, ULTIMATE CAUSE AND ETERNAL SPONTANEOUS SOURCE OF GLOBAL PEACE. They are real, but to transform from spontaneous into conscious and effective creators of global peace they need this science (GPS) and its understanding, awareness and education in it, to build this peace competently. Eternal global peace is a natural, normal and healthy state of the spheral classes of population and - together with them - society in a whole. This social nature generates and guarantees global peace by spontaneous and harmonious spheral classes of the population. Therefore, the spheral classes and their natural harmony are the eternal foundation of global peace. From this follows the shortest definition of global peace ? IT IS PEACE FROM HARMONY, which is created and constantly recreated by spheral classes. The war between them is not possible, since the death of at least one spheral class means the cessation of production of one of necessary resources that leads to death of all spheral classes and society as a whole. To divide the world in this way into four functions and four classes may be an interesting sociological enterprise, but I see no credibility in the assertion that ?they are at one time a NATURAL HARMONIOUS ACTORS, ULTIMATE CAUSE AND ETERNAL SPONTANEOUS SOURCE OF GLOBAL PEACE. They are real, but to transform from spontaneous into conscious and effective creators of global peace they need this science (GPS) and its understanding, awareness and education in it, to build this peace competently.? It appears to me that you have identified four functions that people participate in in one way or another. All four of these functions are participated in historically in wars, imperialism, capitalist greed, systems of domination, empires, etc. Simply to assert that they are ?natural harmonious actors? and the ?source of global peace? does not appear to have any credible grounds. And how could GPS prove or develop this ?natural harmony? when it does not appear to exist in the first place? Third, the document proposes or predicts a 2% per year reduction in arms and a global peace corps under the UN. This appears to contradict what you say in your letter to me when you say: Your great Earth Constitution fits well in science of global peace (GPS) as its global legal expression. Therefore, the tandem of GPS and Global Constitution may be very attractive for the G20. Now it can be expressed as the general idea. Then, you could write one page of your Constitution as addition to my article. In September and October, I'll transform this article in the GHA collective project in which I would be happy to invite you with an article in the 3-5 pages. Do you agree to participate in this project, which strengthens the position of each of us? Your document gives a role to the UN, but has no mention of the Earth Constitution. But the Earth Constitution replaces the UN charter, and if the G-20 are interested in it (extremely unlikely for the above reasons), then any peace in the future will have to be according to the Earth Constitution?s prescription for the three operative stages of Earth Federation, the elimination of WMDs, and the progressive demilitarization of the world. UN agencies will be integrated into the Earth Federation, but the UN cannot lead a global peace corps or anything else. The Earth Constitution organizes all the functions of the planet (including ?people, information, organization, and things?) into a world peace system. The UN, based on the principle of sovereign nation-states, is representative of the current war system (whatever its documents may claim). It cannot lead the world to peace nor establish a GPS. Since I do not know what GPS is (as explained above), I cannot say if the Constitution is its global legal expression. However, if we want world peace it must be through enforceable democratic world law under the Earth Constitution. The Earth Federation Government then studies peace, environmental protection, human social relationships, education, etc., in the light of promoting peace within the Earth Federation and the world. One could call this across the board study of peace under the Constitution the beginnings of a GPS. The first step is to ratify the Constitution and then, if there is to be a GPS , the Earth Federation government will fund and organize this. Right now, the UN and the G-20 are organized on a war system. They will not adopt or fund any GPS (assuming that this concept is intelligible) because their premise is sovereign nation-states and global capitalism both of which are intrinsically war-systems. The Earth Constitution establishes a peace system for the world and for this reason makes possible the systematic study of peace (which is what I take it you intend for GPS). Hence your proposal for a GPS would have to include this fact: if we want peace we have to convert the world from a structural war-system to a structural peace-system and this is done by ratifying the Earth Constitution. If there is to be a real and serious GPS then it must be concomitant and integral to the process of ratifying the Earth Constitution. If the Earth Constitution is ?the global legal expression? of GPS, then the document should state this. I hope this letter can be productive for both of us as we discuss and work and think our way toward a global harmony and planetary peace. I want to support you work which I think is very good and important. But in terms of my own analysis and to the best of my understanding, there can be no peace and no real progress toward peace without ratification of the Earth Constitution.

Now, in 2013, our challenge is to attract maximum attention to it. GPS is more than worthy subject for general attention. Do you agree with that? I think so. In this connection, I invite you as the GHA Vice-President to spread our (GHA) article (in attachment) in your country and send it to your leading newspapers (The Washington Post, New York Times, etc.), on leading TV channels and to President Obama. And also for all other channels available to you: sites, universities, peace organizations and networks: Facebook and etc. Please, invite to this worthy mission the other GHA peacemakers of your country and your friends. A similar I will do in Russia. I will send it also to our colleagues (GHA members) to other countries for its distribution to the media, the heads of states and governments, as well as for translation into other languages: French, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Japanese, Greeks, etc. to publish it on the GHA website. We must try to make our voice with the science of global peace has been heard by the G-20 leaders who will soon gather for their next summit in Russia, St. Petersburg, 5-6 September 2013. You could send this article with your short comments to the G-20 Summit site: http://en.g20russia.ru/, through contacts: http://en.g20russia.ru/docs/contacts/contacts.html and especially to the Think 20: http://en.g20russia.ru/think_20/ and other.
