This book addresses contemporary issues of violence and conflict, focusing on the ethical and psychological dimensions of Gandhi’s philosophy. It fills a notable gap in existing conflict resolution literature. This book appeals to readers across various disciplines, including philosophy, political science, history, cultural studies, and peace studies.
