About the Book:
9/11 marked the beginning of a century
that is defined by widespread violence. Every other day seems to be a
furthering of the already catastrophic present towards a more disastrous
tomorrow. With climate change looming over us, frequent economic instability,
religious wars, and relentless political mayhem, life for what we have made of
it seems more and more unsustainable. Douglas Allen insists that we look to
Gandhi, if only selectively and creatively, in order to move towards a nonviolent
and sustainable future.
Is a Gandhi-informed swaraj technology,
valuable but humanly limited, possible? What would a Gandhian world—a more
egalitarian, interconnected, decentralized—of globalization look like? Focusing
on key themes in Gandhi's thinking such as violence and nonviolence, absolute
truth and relative truth, ethical and spiritual living, and his critique of
modernity, the book compels us to rethink our positions today.
