Kant, in *Perpetual Peace*, argued that global peace must become an achievable goal; otherwise, human affairs will remain in disorder, and morality and human rights will not be fully realized. However, he and many later philosophers acknowledged the immense challenges of attaining such an aspiration. World peace resembles Camus' Sisyphus, who endlessly rolls a boulder uphill—an arduous yet essential task.Peace is more than political institutions; it is a cultural mindset, a way of seeing global issues. It is nurtured through culture and art, whose long-term influence shapes societies. This study explores how the novel, as a literary genre, fosters a mindset of peace, particularly world peace. By its nature, the novel is a genre of dialogue, openness, and empathy. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s literary theory, this research argues that the novel encourages pluralism and understanding, essential for peacebuilding Through its descriptive-explanatory approach, the study demonstrates that literature—especially the novel—creates spaces for diverse voices, promoting tolerance and coexistence. In this way, novels serve not only as artistic expressions but also as catalysts for a culture of peace.
