Description

Product Description Ramchandra Gandhi, famous for his rich and varied interests, left behind a large corpus of writings, both philosophical and non-philosophical. Introducing the readers to the creative Indian philosopher, this volume highlights the principal thrust of his works, critically locates them within the larger political, philosophical, literary and socio-cultural context, and accounts for his lasting influence. For the first time, essays on Ramchandra Gandhi’s earlier works and later writings have been brought together to take stock of his contribution to contemporary Indian thought as a whole. Written by philosophers as well as those belonging to literature and the social sciences, the essays record his experimental ventures both in form and content, and shed light on key themes in language, communication, religion, aesthetics, spirituality, consciousness, self, knowledge, politics, ethics, and non-violence. The book will appeal to those in philosophy, political science, history, sociology, literature, and Gandhian studies. Review Ramchandra Gandhi ― a sage of our times ― was a modern teacher, but adapted the methods of the Upanishadic gurus. For me, as a writer he was one of the greatest Indians in that period ― passionate, open, searching for the validation of ‘advaitic’ experience in the quotidian lived realities as well as in the imagined transcendent sphere. He was loved and admired by a small circle when he was alive, and this book is a daring attempt to bring him to the attention of a wider reading public. ― U. R. Ananthamurthy, Eminent Kannada Writer and Critic; Chancellor, Central University of Karnataka Ramu Gandhi was a scholar, a thinker, a loner, and a free spirit. He was a great teacher, a good friend, and had a tremendous sense of humour. Often mischievous in his intellectual forays, he was passionately committed to the values of humanism. These essays are a fine tribute to an engaging, interesting and provocative philosopher. ― Sanjaya Baru, Former Media Advisor to the Prime Minister; Director, Geo-economics and Strategy, The International Institute for Strategic Studies About the Author A. Raghuramaraju is Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Hyderabad.
