Product Description
The similarity between social and political ideas of Plato and ancient Indian thinkers always attracted the attention of the scholars because both the traditions furnished identical ideo- logical tools to solve the problems of stability and integrity of their societies. Plato and Bhishma in Shantiparva sought to do this by using the concepts of Justice and Dharma to regulate social change and to integrate different classes of society. They held that the institute of state played an important role in attaining both social goal and the individual salvation. They agreed that politics should play an important role in attaining higher moral ends as the statesman should not stand for self- aggrandisement but he must perform disinterested action. It is interesting to note that both the traditions encour- aged moral heroism against tyranny within the limits of class society. In the age of relativism, they advocated the cause of morality.
