Abstract
Intergenerational conflict threatens to become one of the major sources of individual and societal unrest in the latter part of the twentieth century. This paper examines contemporary intergenerational conflict from the perspective of Gandhian nonviolence. Though commonly applied to international and intergroup conflict, the theory and practice of nonviolence have not, to my knowledge, been applied to intergenerational relations.
