Mahatma Gandhi is one of the most admired figures of the twentieth century and the relevance of his approach continues to be debated among the academia and in the public domain. Bringing together leading Gandhian scholars from across the globe, this volume underscores the philosophical and practical urgency and significance of Gandhi`s thought and action for the contemporary world.
The essays offer a radical critique of the dominant characteristics and priorities of modern Western civilization and the contemporary world. Using Gandhi in creative and innovative ways, they offer positive alternatives to concerns like non-violence, dialogue, peace, terrorism, civil disobedience, education, modernism, religion and religious conflict, environmental destruction, and creation of a new society. The introduction underlines key issues and presents an overview of Gandhi`s philosophy for the twenty-first century.
Addressing major problems and contributions of the twenty-first century, this volume conveys a strong sense of the philosophical and practical urgency and significance of Gandhi`s thought and action for the contemporary world.
