Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy: A philosophical Idealist
Author(s): Sanjeev Kumar Mishra
Abstract: Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy is centred on two core principles: truth and non-violence. For Gandhi, the significance of non-violence, or ahimsa, rests on two key beliefs. First, he argued that if all life is interconnected as part of a Divine Reality, then any act of violence against another is ultimately self-destructive. Hurting others disrupts this universal harmony, which is governed by the law of love. Second, Gandhi believed that ahimsa is the strongest force in existence. If violence (himsa) were stronger, humanity would have destroyed itself long ago, preventing any progress. While global justice remains a distant ideal, the survival and progress of humanity reflect the enduring power of love and non-violence.
