The Social Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi

More about the book

Books on Gandhi abound. But, hardly any one of them offers a comprehensive discussion of Gandhi as a social thinker. This book seeks to provide a comprehensive exposition of Gandhi as a social thinker and also to show that Gandhian ideas do have a rational philosophical validity. The book takes up certain key issues in social philosophy such as constructive work, constructive programme, conception of man, population, humanism, individual and society, means and ends, and shows how Gandhi with his unique worldview offers entirely new approaches to them.This book is bound to blaze a new trail of Gandhian studies. It promises to bring to its readers not only a new understanding of Gandhi but of the world we live in today.
