Abstract
Ekkehart Krippendorff (1934- ) is a German political scientist committed with research for peace since 60s. His work is based on a strong multidisciplinary approach: Literature, Philosophy, Music, History, Sociology, and other human sciences that enrich his critical and constructive discourse. The critical dimension is particularly directed to the State and the Army which he considers institutions founded on violence and not interested in citizens’ welfare. The constructive proposal of Krippendorff focuses on culture and ethics which can never be separated from politics as taught classical philosophers from Socrates to Kant. Hence, this article attempts to shed light to social knowledge and the research field of peace taking into account that Krippendorff could be considered an outstanding mentor for all those who pretend to understand how culture can play a key role in politics. Thus, his work is of remarkable connotation to comprehend and to create actions in the contemporary context.
