Rabindranath Tagore

This book explores Rabindranath Tagores distinctive argument for peacein spiritual rather than in political terms. 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 nationalism. 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.
