eBook 정보

Rethinking Satyagraha: Truth, Travel and Translations explores the multi-dimensional aspects of Satyagraha as a movement of being with and striving for and fighting for Truth and Truth realizations. The book goes beyond the conventional discourse of Satyagraha as a social and political action that Gandhi undertook, and links this to the wider moral, philosophical and spiritual quest that are implicated in Satyagraha with and beyond Gandhi. It links Satyagraha to our efforts to overcome the dualism between self and other in various ways. It also relates work and meditation with Truth in Satyagraha to translation and travel. It cultivates a new hermeneutics, politics and spirituality of Satyagraha which is simultaneously everyday and epochal. The book further invites us to rethink and transform the post-Truth discourse and live with Truth and truths—relative, relational and Absolute—with care, courage, creativity and transcendence.

With contribution from leading scholars from across the world, Rethinking Satyagraha is a pioneering effort in reiterating the epochal significance of Satyagraha for the 21st century. It makes an important contribution to contemporary Gandhian scholarship and new horizons of social and political theory. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of movement and resistance studies, Gandhi, Indian philosophy, cultural studies, literary studies, religious studies, development studies, sociology, anthropology, political science and future studies.
