This book develops a critical understanding of Mahatma Gandhi's
philosophy and practice in the context of contemporary challenges
and engages with some of his key work and ideas. It highlights the
relevance of Gandhi's legacy in the quest towards peace-building,
equity and global justice. The volume examines diverse facets of
Gandhi's holistic view of human life - social, economic and
political - for the creation of a just society. Bringing together
expert analyses and reflections, the chapters here emphasise the
philosophical and practical urgency of Gandhi's thought and action.
They explore the significance of his concepts of truth and
nonviolence to address moral, spiritual and ethical issues, growing
intolerance, conflict and violence, poverty and hunger, and
environmental crisis for the present world. The volume serves as a
platform for constructive dialogue for academics, researchers,
policymakers and students to re-imagine Gandhi and his moral and
political principles. It will be of great interest to those in
philosophy, political studies, Gandhi studies, history, cultural
studies, peace studies and sociology.
