Gandhian Thought: A Study of Tradition and Modernity by M. Maharajan

Description: This book presents the fundamental ideas of Gandhi's socio-political philosophy and analyses the concepts of Tradition and Modernity in the light of Gandhian thought. An attempt is made here to examine how the current, simplified interpretations of the process of modernization, which makes it synonymous with westernization, economic development, etc., are inadequate. A detailed examination is made of the ramifications of Gandhi's views on social problems because they are directly related to his conception of progress and individual perfection. In dealing with the political philosophy of Gandhi, an attempt is made to bring out his philosophy of state and society, and his concept of freedom. The book shows how Gandhian thought can help solve the present-day crisis, and provides the basis for hope for mankind.
