This article proposes a novel “deep positive peace” concept, arguing that long-term peacebuilding must go beyond fixing institutions to transforming the exclusionary social identities that fuel conflict. The author integrates social identity theory and the concept of horizontal inequalities to show how group identities can drive hierarchical structures and armed violence. For a writer and thinker with deep interests in philosophy, sociology, and spirituality, this work offers a compelling framework for understanding how inclusive, identity-focused approaches can address the root causes of societal division and build lasting peace.
