Summary / Abstract (Note) | Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most outstanding men that the 20th century has produced. He regarded himself primarily as an activist-theoretician where action and theory intertwined to produce a theoretical construct that defies strict categorization. He gave little importance to the physical aspect of the human being and it is for this reason that he rejected the modern western industrialized technological society because it gave too much importance to sensuality and to the body thereby losing self-restraint, desiring insatiable wants, too much of self-indulgence leading to a decline in spiritual and moral values. |
