"The literature on Gandhi and Martin Luther King is vast, and scholars often speak of the two leaders when discussing theories of non-violence. Yet, no attempt has yet been made to understand the way in which Gandhi and King's socio-political ideas converge in terms of their origins, development and application. In Confluence of Thought, Bidyut Chakrabarty argues that there is a confluence of thought between Gandhi and King's concerns for humanity and advocacy of non-violence, despite their different historical and socio-economic contexts. He says that these two figures are perhaps the best modern historical examples of individuals who combined religion with the political to produce a dynamic social ideology. Gandhi saw service to humanity as the path to 'self-actualization' and thus spiritually most fulfilling; similarly, King pursued religion-driven social action. Chakrabarty looks particularly at the way in which each deployed religious and political language to draw the widest possible membership to their social movements. While Chakrabarty points out that neither thinker was able to fulfill his chosen mission, both suffering death by assassination, he positions the two as the premier modern influences on theories of non-violence today"--

While much has been written about the Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., never before has anyone compared the social and political origins and evolution of their thoughts on non-violence. In this path-breaking work, Bidyut Chakrabarty argues that there is a confluence between Gandhi and King's concerns for humanity and advocacy of non-violence, despite the very different historical, economic and cultural circumstances against which they developed their ideas. At the same time, he demonstrates that both thinkers were truly shaped by their historical moments, evolving their approaches to non-violence to best advance their respective struggles for freedom. Gandhi and King were perhaps the most influential individuals in modern history to combine religious and political thought into successful and dynamic social ideologies. Gandhi emphasized service to humanity while King, who was greatly influenced by Gandhi, pursued religion-driven social action. Chakrabarty looks particularly at the way in which each strategically used religious and political language to build momentum and attract followers to their movements. The result is a compelling and historically entrenched view of two of the most important figures of the twentieth century and a thoughtful meditation on the common threads that flow through the larger and enduring nonviolence movement.

The Developing Course of Chinese Philosophy deals with the thoughts of Chinese philosophers and the historical process of philosophical development from pre-Qin to Ming and Qing dynasties from a new perspective, elaborating the emergence, development, rise, and fall of ancient Chinese philosophy. The book systematically describes the evolution path of Chinese wisdom, revealing the main trends and some basic laws of the theoretical thinking of the Chinese nation. The main contents of this book can be categorized into three aspects. First, the developing course and framework of Chinese philosophy in different periods; second, representatives of Chinese philosophy in different periods and the Zeitgeist, the main viewpoints and methodologies they represent; third, the interrelation and influence of the standpoints of Chinese philosophy in different periods. The Developing Course of Chinese Philosophy can be roughly divided into the philosophy of pre-Qin scholars with the theme of political theory, the cosmology-centered philosophy in Qin and Han dynasties, the metaphysics in Wei and Jin dynasties characterized by ontology, the philosophy of Wei Jin and the Northern and Southern dynasties in the dispute of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the philosophy of Sui and Tang dynasties in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and the philosophy of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties with the rise and decline of Neo-Confucianism and the end of ancient Chinese philosophy as the main content. Through detailed elaboration in different chapters, the book highlights the philosophical thoughts, methodologies, and viewpoints of different periods in Chinese history, thus presenting a complete logical system of the historical development and the essence of Chinese philosophy.
