About this book
This book explores Rabindranath Tagore's distinctive argument for peace—in spiritual rather than in political—terms. Drawing on seminal texts by Tagore, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of Gurudev's seemingly contradictory notions of individual freedom, universal love for humanity and faith in the great Eastern nation. It underlines Tagore's argument that peace could be best affected not by a league of nations but in educational institutions and that the "Religion of Man" lay in the truth of inter-relationships between human beings.
A concise handy guide to Tagore's philosophy, this book will be essential for students and scholars of philosophy, Tagore studies, peace and conflict studies and South Asian studies.
