| Summary: | This review discussion examines two recent works on Gandhi, Richard Sorabjis Gandhi and the Stoics: Modern Experiments on Ancient Values, and Ram Guhas Gandhi Before India. The review makes the point that we can see Gandhis unusual philosophical method at work if the two books are read together. Sorabji has argued that it is essential to understand Gandhis philosophy before we can assess the consistency between what he thought, believed and did. Guha has recorded events in Gandhis early years that can provide readers with details of Gandhis practise and experiments. |
