The issue of non-violence considered as a philosophical and educational concept is under-explored. An interdisciplinary and multi-perspective foundation to peace and non-violence is needed in academic research. This paper explored the philosophical underpinnings of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther philosophies of non-violence. It tried to discuss the practical aspect of non-violence through the actions of Gandhi and Luther. It clarified the concept of non-violence, given by Gandhi and Luther in detail. It aims to pave the values of non-violence for the establishment of a society based on love and harmony.
