The article explores the concept of a nonkilling society and its implications for mathematics. It emphasizes that society can exist without killing and highlights the role of education in promoting peace. The author calls for further research on the relationship between mathematics and other disciplines and raises questions about the responsibility of mathematicians and educators in fulfilling their commitments to humanity. The text also discusses the connection between mathematics and various aspects of society, including technology and the military, and argues for a broader view of the world and the role of mathematics in promoting peace and dignity. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of ethics and nonviolence in human behavior and the production of knowledge. [Extracted from the article]
