Religious, political, social, cultural, and economic constituents and interests thus contribute to the local and global manifestations of violence in our interconnected and contracting global world. Firmly embedded within the field of religion, the authors of this volume concede that religious motifs and impulses are alive and well in this unfolding of bloodshed. It is no wonder then that in our volatile historical age, \u003ci\u003ereligious fundamentalism\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eilliberal nationalism \u003c\/i\u003ehave emerged as dominant contemporary movements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAgainst this backdrop, the contributors to this edited book look back in order to move forward by reflecting upon the truth-force (\u003ci\u003eSatyagraha\u003c\/i\u003e) that grounded and guided Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the heels of several commemorations in 2019 of the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth, we reexamine the truths of his philosophy and nonviolent strategy to resist religious and political fundamentalisms. Embracing truth was, for Gandhi, the only way to achieve complete freedom (\u003ci\u003epoorna Swaraj\u003c\/i\u003e). The goal of freedom, which Gandhi conceptualized as profoundly personal, expansively communitarian, and organically ecological, emanates from a firm grasp of truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506469980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Sathianathan Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993108291765,"sku":"9781506469980","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2bd7a1ea-a9d5-4c4e-bd03-9d8a07f520de.jpg?v=1648523548","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gandhis-truths-in-an-age-of-fundamentalism-and-nationalism-9781506469980","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
