- W2290789739 abstract "Gandhi dedicated his life to the pursuit of truth (satya) while holding the firm conviction that such a quest could not possibly be prosecuted in a cave. Knowing all too well the challenges that modern pluralist societies face, Gandhi sought to articulate a new way to approach problems created by the existence of competing moral claims. This alternate standpoint should not be thought of as emanating from a desire to locate and/or fix a normative center. Instead, Gandhi's personal quest for truth reveals his preoccupation with developing appropriate means to democratically defensible ends. In this way, I interpret Gandhi as articulating a kind of politics that resists closure and acknowledges moments of rupture that push back against hegemony. In this paper, I read Gandhi along side a group of political theorists who might loosely be termed agonistic democrats (Arendt, Mouffe and Honig). I argue that Gandhi's understanding of the relationship between truth and society provides a framework that addresses competing truth claims without descending into nihilism. In fact, the innovation of this framework comes from the fact that it embraces the skeptical doubt and employs it as the impetus for an alternate model of citizenship. Thus, Gandhi shifts the discussion away from institutional arrangements envisioned to reconcile problems associated with modern pluralist societies and redirects it towards a deeper conception of the link between normative values, society and citizenship." @default.
