Rabindranath Tagore

This book explores Rabindranath Tagores distinctive argument for peacein spiritual rather than in politicalterms. Drawing on seminal texts by Tagore, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of Gurudevs seemingly contradictory notions of individual freedom, universal love for humanity and faith in the great Eastern nation. It underlines Tagores 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 Tagores philosophy, this book will be essential for students and scholars of philosophy, Tagore studies, peace and conflict studies and South Asian studies.
