Gandhi (1869-1948) was one of the few men in history to fight simultaneously on moral, religious, political, social, economic, and cultural fronts. During his time as a lawyer in South Africa he developed his strategy of non-violence: the idea of opposing unjust laws by non-violent protest, which he made the basis of his successful struggle against British rule in India. In this Very Short Introduction to Gandhi's life and thought, Bhikhu Parekh outlines both Gandhi's major philosophical insights and the limitations of his thought. He looks at Gandhi's cosmocentric anthropology, his spiritual view of politics, his unique form of liberal communitarianism, and his theories of oppression, non-violent action, and active citizenship. He also considers how the success of Gandhi's principles was limited by his lack of coherent theories of evil, and of state and power, and how his hostility to modern civilization impeded his appreciation of its complexity. Gandhi's life and thought has had an enormous impact both within and outside India, and he continues to be widely revered, as one of the greatest moral and political leaders of the twentieth century.

The struggles for independence and moral regeneration had different logics and sometimes came into conflict; in addition, the struggle for independence involved both satyagrahas and working within the representative institutions provided by the colonial state, and again these sometimes pulled in different directions. Many Indian leaders did not share the priority Gandhi gave to moral regeneration and the Constructive Programme, and took the opposite view that political independence was the necessary condition of moral regeneration and had to come first. While Gandhi judged a satyagraha from the standpoint of its effect on Indian society and its regeneration, they judged it on the basis of how it affected conventional ... (查看原文)
He ended by presenting the judge with a moral dilemma: if he approved of the prevailing system, he had a duty to inflict the ‘severest penalty’ on Gandhi; if he felt uneasy about the latter, he had a duty to condemn the system and resign (查看原文)

甘地从印度教和基督教传统都继承发扬了不少精神，宗教之外在认识论，政治，意识形态等问题上也认同多元主义，面对差异倡导比宽容更进一步的善意的理解和学习

简短的介绍了甘地的生平以及思想，可惜并没重点提到英国当局对甘地非暴力不合作运动的反应，让人没明白印度民族独立运动为何走向成功，想要补齐这方面知识，估计得阅读另外一本著作——《甘地与丘吉尔》，希望另一本不会让我失望

比较清楚易懂的一本书 与这个历史人物的距离也拉近了 与近年来的非暴力不合作运动相比较思考也很有价值
