Book excerpt: The 20th century was the bloodiest century in world history, with two world wars and endless conflicts. The liberalization of trade has led the way to enslavement of people. Industrial/technological development, military supremacy, cultural hegemony, and dehumanizing competition have endangered the very existence of humanity and nature. The phenomena of intolerance, terrorism, and wars are inherent in globalization. There is a strong need to create some sensitivity about the growing incidence of violence and the challenges to non-violence in different countries, as well as developing an understanding of how to move to a peaceful world order as envisioned by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was an apostle of peace - a man who lived and died for peace and non-violence. An effort to harmonize ecology, society, polity, economy, religion, and technology with what Gandhi calls a law of life is essential. This book shares a global understanding which will enable the reader to relive the legacy of non-violence and peace. The essays contained in this volume are inspired by a commitment to establish a culture of peace and strengthen the forces of non-violence throughout the globe. Each contributor provides an in-depth analysis of the theoretical understandings of the Gandhian paradigm and the empirical reality of different societies. This interdisciplinary treatise will prove useful not only to Gandhian scholars, but also will draw attention of researchers, educationists, peace lovers, and those engaged in non-violent action and conflict resolution all over the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential compendium for understanding Gandhi's profound legacy. "One has to speak out and stand up for one's convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable."—Mahatma Gandhi The basic principles of Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) and non-violent action (Satyagraha) were chosen by Thomas Merton for this volume in 1965. In his challenging Introduction, "Gandhi and the One-Eyed Giant," Merton emphasizes the importance of action rather than mere pacifism as a central component of non-violence, and illustrates how the foundations of Gandhi's universal truths are linked to traditional Hindu Dharma, the Greek philosophers, and the teachings of Christ and Thomas Aquinas. Educated as a Westerner in South Africa, it was Gandhi's desire to set aside the caste system as well as his political struggles in India which led him to discover the dynamic power of non-cooperation. But, non-violence for Gandhi "was not simply a political tactic," as Merton observes: "the spirit of non-violence sprang from an inner realization of spiritual unity in himself." Gandhi's politics of spiritual integrity have influenced generations of people around the world, as well as civil rights leaders from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Steve Biko to Václav Havel and Aung San Suu Kyi. Mark Kurlansky has written an insightful preface for this edition that touches upon the history of non-violence and reflects the core of Gandhi's spiritual and ethical doctrine in the context of current global conflicts.

Download or read book Sociology of Peace and Nonviolence written by Rakesh Raman Jha and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 2003 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahatma Gandhi and Dalai Lama have been the two exponents of peace and nonviolence. The concepts and the methods of peace and nonviolence of both the thinkers and freedom fighters are quite relevant to the contemporary World in resolving the conflicts prevalent at social, national as well as international levels. The present study has been a humble attempt to understand and analyze the concepts and theories of peace and nonviolence and their application to resolve conflicts peacefully and amicably. This study also examines the basic contention of the then Nobel Committee for Peace in 1989 to compare the Dalai Lama with his merntor, Mahatma Gandhi for his forward looking proposals to solve the problems between the Chinese state and the Tibetan people without resorting to violent means.

It will be of great interest to readers, scholars and researchers of peace and conflict studies, politics, philosophy, history and South Asian studies.
Download or read book Nonviolent Resistance as a Philosophy of Life written by Ramin Jahanbegloo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we mean by nonviolence? What can nonviolence achieve? Are there limits to nonviolence and, if so, what are they? These are the questions the Iranian political philosopher and activist Ramin Jahanbegloo tackles in his journey through the major political advocates of nonviolence during the 20th century. While nonviolent resistance has accompanied human culture from its earliest beginnings, and representations of nonviolence in Eastern religions like Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism are ubiquitous, it is only in 20th century that it emerged as a major preoccupation of figures such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa and Václav Havel. Focusing on examples of their way of thinking in different cultural, geographic and political contexts, from the Indian Independence Movement and US Civil rights and Anti-Apartheid movement to the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia and nonviolent protests in Tunisia, Iran, Serbia and Hong-Kong, Jahanbegloo explores why nonviolence remains relevant as a form of resistance against injustice and oppression around the world. With balanced readings of central players and events, this comparative study of a pivotal form of resistance written by accomplished scholar of Gandhi presents convincing reasons to commit to nonviolence, reminding us why it matters to the development of contemporary political thought.
Download or read book Gandhi and Beyond written by David Cortright and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Cortright is a life-long activist and respected scholar. In Gandhi and Beyond, he convincingly shows the power of nonviolence as a philosophy of life, not just a method of social action. His practical analysis of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, and others brings new insights and inspiration to those of us attempting to live that philosophy, and to those, especially a new generation, who are seeking a better way to respond to their world. I commend this book to all who are seeking an alternative to violence." Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics and editor of Sojourners Is there room for nonviolence in an age of terrorism? Drawing on the legend and lessons of Gandhi, Cortright traces the history of nonviolent social activism through the early twentieth century to the civil rights movement, the Vietnam era, and up to the present war in Iraq. Gandhi and Beyond offers a critical evaluation and refinement of Gandhi's message, laying the foundation for a renewed and deepened dedication to nonviolence as the universal path to social progress and antidote to terrorism.
