This book explores Rabindranath Tagore’s distinctive argument for peace — in spiritual rather than in political terms. Drawing on seminal texts by Tagore, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of Gurudev’s seemingly contradictory notions of individual freedom, universal love for humanity, and nationalism.
This book explores Rabindranath Tagore’s distinctive argument for peace — in spiritual terms rather than in political terms. Drawing on seminal texts by Tagore, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of Gurudev’s seemingly contradictory notions of individual freedom, universal love for humanity, and nationalism. It underlines Tagore’s 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 relationship between human beings.

A concise handy guide to Tagore’s philosophy, this book will be essential for students and scholars of philosophy, Tagore studies, peace and conflict studies, and South Asian studies.
