Gandhi

5.0 (1)

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869–1948) und seine gewaltfrei-revolutionären Massenkampagnen in Indien gegen die britische Kolonialmacht sind noch immer eine weltweite Inspirationsquelle und ein emanzipatorischer Gegenpol zu gewaltverherrlichenden und kriegstreiberischen Tendenzen. In diesem Buch werden staatskritische und pro-anarchistische Stellungnahmen Gandhis in Texten aus drei Jahrzehnten dokumentiert. Auf dieser inhaltlichen Grundlage wird auch auf die Vorwürfe eingegangen, Gandhi sei angeblich „Rassist“ oder „Verteidiger des Kastensystems“ gewesen. Dass diese Vorwürfe haltlos sind, wird durch die hier vorliegenden Texte deutlich. Sie zeigen, wie sich Gandhis Positionen entwickelten und radikalisierten: bereits ab 1908 in Südafrika im Kollektiv mit jüdischen Gewaltfreien, ganz besonders aber während der drei Jahrzehnte des anti-kolonialen Kampfes in Indien. Abschließend wird anhand der aktuellen sozialen Bewegung für Landrechte am Beispiel von Ekta Parishad gezeigt, dass sich diese auf den Salzmarsch Gandhis bezieht und die gewaltfrei-libertäre Tradition noch immer relevant für die Kämpfe von unten im heutigen Indien ist.

Christian maturity

Christian maturity, as the author defines it, is the radical appreciation of one's own status in the eyes of God; it means that one knows one's dignity and one's freedom as a citizen of God's kingdom and subject of his law of love. In a series of meditations the author shows that acceptance of law, whether civil or ecclesiastical, far from crushing the human spirit, liberates and invigorates it; that the theological virtues strengthen the Christian in his encounter with the trials of daily life; that a common holiness binds together in fellowship all members of the Christian community. He concludes with some practical reflections on the piety of the laity, on marriage as a way of salvation, and on love in the single state.
