Gandhian Philosophy

Mahatma Gandhi is arguably the best known proponent in history of the use of non-violence in both one’s personal life and the political sphere. But what were the ideological, philosophical foundations for his teachings? Gandhian philosophy is certainly considered by Gandhians as a universal and timeless philosophy, despite the fact that on the more superficial level it is set in the Indian social context. They hold that the ideals of truth and non-violence, which underpin the whole philosophy, are relevant to all humankind. This book offers an insight into Gandhi’s philosophies of truth, non-violence and service of humanity, that hold the power to change our way of looking at the physical, emotional and spiritual realms.
