About the Book:
Ideas build cvilisations. Ideals provide vitality and freedom to propel civilisations to greatness. From Plato to Gandhi, Cicero to Lincoln, great ideas have been impressing the minds and conscience of the people, setting afire their imagination, motivating them to rise to new heights, to seek newer means of endeavour, to tread new paths towards greatness and accomplishment.
In these thought-provoking essays Dr. Radhakrishnan explores the power of ideas and ideals which shape growth and propel human civilisation forward.
The essays published in the book are largely based on Dr. Radhakrishnan's speeches to the university audiences, specially the students, in pre-independent India. Yet these do not read dated, and remain meaningful even today.
Publisher’s Preface
Among the philosophers of our time, no one has achieved so much in so many fields... Never in the history of philosophy has there been quite such a world-figure.
Radhakrishnan belongs to that rare class of scholars who command equal respect and readership in the East and the West.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, (1888-1975) is universally recognized as modern India's greatest philosopher. He was also a statesman of distinction, and even compared to Plato's ideal of the philosopher-king.
Born in the pilgrim soil of Tirupati (now in Andhra Pradesh), he imbibed lasting impression of India's Vedic heritage during his formative years. Starting with his first teaching appointment in the Department of Philosophy at Madras Presidency College in 1909, he quickly established his reputation, and in 1921 became George V Professor of Philosophy in Calcutta University and the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religion and Ethics at Oxford University in 1936. In 1952 he accepted the office of India's first Vice President, and in 1962 assumed the office of the President of India.
