Mahatma Ghandi has been studied extensively as multifacted personality from the backdrop of India's freedom movement. Volumes have been written about him. His world-view and his ethical and spiritual self-discipline as well made him an unparalleled persona of his time. This book portrays him as a philosopher of action (karmayogi) an ideal in which he was deeply rooted, than a philosopher (darsanik). While discerning the Ghandian idealism, this study analytically examines the different qualities of Gandhi such as a his firm belief in peace as an embodiment of spirituality, his approach to conflict resolution, his world-view on corruption and human values, his economic philosophy and his outlook on socialism vis-a-vis that of Karl Marx, among others. It also makes an endeavour to reappraise Gandhi in the present-day context.
