Reason in India

To be honest, I'm not qualified to evaluate Gandhi and I can't evaluate him very well, but I have some ideas about the movie

I feel like I can put Gandhi and Socrates together, the former was killed by fanatical religious people and the latter was killed by fanatical public opinion. I don't have a high opinion of what Gandhi did, but it should be the best solution for the environment at that time, when the suzerain state was declining, and human beings were gradually becoming civilized.

He never wanted to kill, nor did he support violence. He solved the problem by his own hunger strikes. Of course, only such a Mahatma figure could solve the problem in this way. This is extreme and emotional, but the reason why he Being a so-called saint, the reason why he can achieve so much with non-violent and non-cooperative resistance is that he is more rational than most people at the time. He knows that violence and terrorism will not solve the problem, and he knows that even in his own country There are so many problems, but India has not become the ideal India after all. Ideals are always related to sensibility, but the way to achieve ideals is divided into inductive rationality. We have seen that when India became independent, so people Religious conflicts were provoked, and Gandhi himself was killed by them.

Socrates is also a similar figure. Those philosophers in Greece proposed the king of philosophy, and I feel more and more able to understand this idea. Philosophy is undoubtedly wisdom and intelligence. They are things that make people more rational, and reason always makes use of sensibility , but reason is also killed by sensibility
