Mahatama Gandhi and His Contemporaries

At the turn of the Century Gandhi stands as a beacon light from the past, not because he was a Mahatama but as a man who lived an authentic and effective moral life. This is precisely what makes him such an important figure for moderns to understand. The question is how the Gandhian legacy can be authentically articulated and recovered. In a crucial sense it seems clear that the moral vision at the heart of Gandhi's thought can be recovered only through his active life in the arena of politics and religion. It is in Gandhi's relationships, in this domain, with the figures of his time that one can locate the meaning of his vision. In this volume an attempt of has been made to focus on the importance of contextuality in making moral judgments and decisions through an examination of inter-personal relationships which are real home of moral practice. Mahatama Gandhi and His Contemporaries is also self- consciously, multi-disciplanary in approach, which might perhaps be truer to a man who never made boundaries himself.
