- Opis:
- Mahatma Gandhi used to say that he didn’t create anything new because the rules he propagated were “as old as the hills”. The features of behaviour, which were named later by Henry David Thoreau as civil disobedience, can be found in each epoch and in almost every country all over the world. Gandhi is called “the master of freedom” thanks to the rules he followed during his whole life – ahimsa (to do no harm) and satjagraha (holding on to truth). To those principles he conformed his political activity and private life. According to him, only people who decide to follow the Truth and reject violence are able to use civil disobedience as a tool of some changes. Nonviolence methods – noncooperation, marches, protests, boycotts, public speeches and many more led India to freedom. Gandhi’s strong belief in civil disobedience as a tool of moral fight against the enemy brought the success. Today’s liberals like Rawls and Dworkin strongly believe that there should be a place for civil disobedience in liberal democracy. According to them, nonviolent acting against law is a great tool for not only an opposition but also for an ordinary citizen in changing a political system to be much more just.
