A collection of essays by renowned Gandhi scholar Thomas Weber, The Mahatma, His Philosophy and His Legacy provides new insights into Gandhi the individual, philosopher and political campaigner, and how later generations have interpreted his life and message. The volume has been divided into three sections-Gandhi: The Mahatma; Gandhism: His Philosophy; and The Gandhians: His Legacy. The first section deals directly with the life and times of Gandhi, and covers issues relating to Gandhi’s moral development in South Africa through what he saw as his changing obligations to his family back in India.
