Embracing Gandhi's insightful critiques of modernity, the book sees his approach as a creative and challenging catalyst to rethink our positions today. We live in a post-9/11 world that is defined by widespread physical, psychological, economic, political, cultural, religious, technological, and environmental violence and that is increasingly unsustainable. The author's central claim is Gandhi, when selectively appropriated and creatively reformulated and applied, is essential for formulating new positions that are more nonviolent and more sustainable. These provide resources and hope for dealing with our contemporary crises. The author analyzes what a Gandhi-informed, valuable but humanly limited swaraj technology looks like. 600 10 $a Gandhi, $c Mahatma, $d 1869-1948 $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Nonviolence $z India. 650 0 $a Terrorism $z India. 650 0 $a Social ethics $z India. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905042135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A32DFD78CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
