O knihe
- Gandhi`s life and thought have been immensely influential, and his strategy of non-violent opposition to unjust laws forms the core of contemporary protest movements
- Bhikhu Parekh is a leading authority on Gandhi and on Indian politics
- Concentrates on Gandhi`s role as a thinker, and the influence of his ideas -- in particular his spiritual view of politics, and his theories of oppression, non-violent action, and active citizenship
In this Very Short Introduction to Gandhi`s life and thought, Bhikhu Parekh outlines both Gandhi`s major philosophical insights and the limitations of his thought. He looks at Gandhi`s cosmocentric anthropology, his spiritual view of politics, his unique form of liberal communitarianism, and his theories of oppression, non-violent action, and active citizenship. He also considers how the success of Gandhi`s principles was limited by his lack of coherent theories of evil, and of state and power, and how his hostility to modern civilization impeded his appreciation of its complexity.
Gandhi`s life and thought has had an enormous impact both within and outside India, and he continues to be widely revered, as one of the greatest moral and political leaders of the twentieth century.
