Human Values and Social Change

The contributions in this volume focus on a wide range of issues concerning both human values and social change in the context of a multi-cultural and multi-civilizational world, including the perspectives of the social sciences and Gandhian studies. It examines the varied dimensions of the search for values, the paradigmatic changes taking place in Europe and the West and the questions pertaining to value education and spirituality, as well as the spell of Gandhi and the issues pertaining to non-violence, peace, humanism, colonialism and globalization. Many eminent sociologists, alongwith a wide range of distinguished scholars, including jurists, philosophers, monks, educationists, literaturs, administrators, political scientists, historians. Gandhian scholars, peace activists, professors of andragogy and religion–both from India as well as abroad–have contributed to this festschrift, which is in honour of Professor T.K.N. Unnithan, making it a representative, thought-provoking anthology on human values and social change.
