Anthony Parel affords a new perspective on the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. He explores how Gandhi connected the spiritual with the temporal. Parel shows how Gandhi, drawing on the Indian time-honoured theory of the purusharthas or 'the aims of life', fitted his ethical, political, aesthetic and religious ideas together. In this way Gandhi challenged the notion which prevailed in Indian society that a rift existed between the secular and the spiritual, the political and the contemplative life.Anthony Parel affords a new perspective on the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.
