Author: Bhikhu Parekh Year Published: 2001 Publisher: Oxford University Press Format: PDF 152 pages ISBN: 0192854577 (0-19-285457-7) ISBN 13: 9780192854575 (978-0-19-285457-5) List Price: $11.95 ThePoet006629 Description Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was one of the few men in history to fight simultaneously on moral, religious, political, social, economic, and cultural fronts. During his time as a lawyer in South Africa he developed his strategy of non-violence: the idea of opposing unjust laws by non-violent protest. He led the Indian National Congress party in three major campaigns against British rule, each culminating in his arrest. In Gandhi, a short introduction to Gandhi抯 life and thought, Bhikhu Parekh outlines both Gandhi抯 major philosophical insights and the limitations of his thought. Written with extensive access to Gandhi抯 writings in Indian languages to which most commentators have little or no access, Parekh looks at Gandhi抯 cosmocentric anthropology, his spiritual view of politics, and his theories of oppression, non-violent action, and active citizenship. He also considers how the success of Gandhi抯 principles were limited by his lack of coherent theories of evil, and of state and power. Gandhi抯 view of man as ascetic allows no room for expressions of the cultural, artistic, or intellectual. Furthermore, he was so hostile to modern civilization that he was unable to appreciate its complex dialectic or offer a meaningful narrative. Nevertheless, Gandhi抯 life and thought had an enormous impact on the Indian nation, and he continues to be widely revered杒nown before and after his assassination as Mahatma, the Great Soul. Download:
