Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian Constitution By Narendra Chapalgaonker; Subhashchandra Wagholikar (transl.) 2015 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 1138999415 | PDF | 1 MB Why did the Constituent Assembly of India discard Mahatma Gandhi's concept of constitutional structure that gave prominence to villages, and prefer parliamentary democracy instead? Why did the self-sufficient and self-governing village of his dream not find a place in India's political edifice? This book explores these and other important questions that are intrinsically linked to the making of modern India. It traces the events leading up to Independence, the freedom struggle and the forming of the Constituent Assembly. The volume looks at the underlying foundations of the Indian nation state and the role of leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and B. R. Ambedkar. It further explores the linkages and the dissonances between Gandhi's ideas and principles and the Indian Constitution. Engaging and accessible, this book will be an interesting read for researchers and scholars of modern India, South Asian politics and history.

Stephen Hetherington, "Living Skepticism: Essays in Epistemology and Beyond " English | ISBN: 9004525408 | 2022 | 216 pages | PDF | 2 MB This book of original papers offers fresh approaches to skepticism-a topic in philosophy with a noble two-millennia history; and one that even inaugurated modern philosophy in Descartes's Meditations. Particularly with the rise of scientific forms or models of philosophy, skepticism today is often treated as a dead-end not worthy of serious reflection. In contrast to this prevailing attitude, the skepticisms discussed in these pages are alive. Here are assembled leading thinkers who claim at least some forms of skepticism to be true (e.g. skepticism about ethics or metaphysics) or insightful enough to be a lasting source of philosophical enlightenment and inspiration. |
