"Mahatma Gandhi is a well known personality in our country as well as throughout the world, yet no serious attempts have been made to study, examine, and evaluate, his thought structure. Gandhiji produced a vast amount of literature and the Gandhians also wrote a great deal on him. However, very few attempt has been made to examine his views philosophically. The present publication take up some of the central concepts of his thought and examined them philosophically." (jacket)
