Summary/Abstract: We can perceive peace as one of the most beautiful ideals of humanity, but also as a prerequisite for the survival of humanity. New weapons that were developed during the 20th century have the potential not only to kill the enemy, but also to destroy humanity as a whole. At the same time, the destruction of life on Earth does not have to be a direct intervention of war arsenal, but e.g. also as a result of further environmental pollution. Peace, the possibilities of its construction and maintenance thus naturally became a subject of interest for social work. The aim of the contribution, which has the character of a scientifc essay, is to approximate the infuence of the peace concept on the development of social work. General methods of scientifc work were used in the preparation of the contribution.
