Description

"The Post-Modern Thinker: Mahatma Gandhi and His Vision" reimagines Mahatma Gandhi as a pioneering figure whose philosophy aligns with the challenges and debates of the post-modern era. The book presents Gandhi’s ideas on non-violence, sustainability, and social equity as a response to the ethical dilemmas and fragmented worldviews of post-modern thought. It explores how his emphasis on truth, self-rule, and communal harmony can be seen as a critique of both modern industrialization and post-modern relativism. By situating Gandhi within the broader intellectual landscape of post-modernism, the book provides a fresh perspective on his relevance today. It reflects on his vision as an antidote to consumerism, environmental crises, and social injustice, offering a holistic framework for contemporary ethical living. Through this lens, Gandhi emerges as a profound, post-modern thinker whose ideas continue to inspire social and political movements worldwide.

Abstract

"The Post-Modern Thinker: Mahatma Gandhi and His Vision" explores the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas in the context of post-modern philosophy. The book examines how Gandhi’s vision of non-violence (ahimsa), self-reliance (swadeshi), truth (satya), and social justice resonates with contemporary global issues. It reinterprets his thoughts as ahead of their time, offering insights that challenge modern and post-modern frameworks of power, identity, and morality. By analyzing his concepts through the lens of post-modern thinkers, the book reveals the enduring wisdom in Gandhi’s approach to social, political, and economic issues, emphasizing his unique contributions to peace, democracy, and human dignity. The study suggests that Gandhi’s thought can offer solutions to contemporary problems such as inequality, environmental degradation, and the rise of individualism in the globalized world, positioning him as a thinker whose relevance stretches beyond colonial history into post-modern society.

The conclusion was weak and didn't tie things together as well as I hoped.
