PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Most of Gandhi's close associates in South Africa were Jewish. They were brought together through a common interest in theosophy and became deeply involved in Gandhi's campaigns, looking after his affairs when he was away in London or India. There was much in common between Gandhi's ashrams and the early Kibbutzim, something which Hermann Kallenbach, his closest friend, was struck by when he first went to Palestine. But Gandhi disagreed with Martin Buber and Judah Magnes on the issue of non-violence and failed to understand what was happening to Jews on the continent in the 1930s. This inability is rooted in the difference in the condition of Jews and Indians in the respective diasporas in South Africa and in Gandhi's effort to bring Indian Muslims into the nationalist movement.

Contemporary Indian Philosophy has arisen in awareness of the need to reconcile the forces of tradition with those of modernity. It is not merely repetitive. There is, in it, a definite attempt to construct a system. It develops under the conviction that the basic aim of Philosophy is to cultivate a world-view. This requires an awareness of the existential condition of life as also the consciousness of life's ultimate ideal, viz., redemption, not only of the individual, but of the total human race. It emphasises the ultimacy of spiritual values; yet it demonstrates that the roots of spiritual life lie in conditions that are essentially existential. The present study seeks to high-light these aspects of Contemporary Indian Philosophy. It is an attempt to re-think, in an academic manner, the thoughts of the contemporary thinkers, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Krishna Chandra Bhattacharya, S. Radhakrishnan, and Mohammad Iqbal. Different aspects of their thoughts have been systematised, categorised and placed under suitable philosophical heads in this work.

<p>This volume has vbeen designed to present a selection of discussions by contemporary Indian philosophers on problems of current philosophical concern. It has not aimed at providing accounts of any of the traditional systems of Indian thought. At the same time, an editor concerned with Indian philosophy thinking in other countries, an editor concerned with Indian philosophy is confronted by the fact that there is a tremendous corpus of classical writing that heritage and many Indian philosophers today are occupied with its exegesis.</p>
