Ramin Jahanbegloo’s The Gandhian Moment (Harvard University Press, 2013) is an impassioned but clear-sighted revisitation of one of the most significant figures of the twentieth century, M.K. Gandhi. Though strongly rooted in history and political theory, the book is not classifiable in the category of “history of thought”, but is rather addressed to our times, insofar as it intends – to my mind, successfully – to draw from the Gandhian heritage indications that are profoundly relevant to the present historical juncture of human society.
