Ethics can be defined as the realisation of the need to justify one’s life and the decision to be ethical entails the choice of a particular value: “the sense of satisfaction derived from knowing that one may judge his own life as he would judge another’s and find it good”.

A brief about Gandhian Ethics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi is considered as one of the greatest moral philosopher of India. The\nmajor principles of Gandhian ethics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Ends and Means: Gandhi always emphasised\non pure means and ends. Improper means cannot be adopted to achieve proper\nends. As a wrong path cannot take you to right destination.<\/li>
  2. Satyagraha: <\/strong>It is the continuous realisation for\ntruth. It mainly includes self sacrifice, peace and non violence. Only a person\nwith will and determination can follow satyagraha.<\/li>
  3. Trusteeship: <\/strong>Wealthy people should acts Trustees\nof trust that looked after the welfare of the people.<\/li>
  4. Concept of seven sins:<\/strong> Wealth without work, Pleasure\nwithout conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science\nwithout Humanity, Religion without Sacrifice, Politics without Principle are\nseven sins in a society that should be rectified.<\/li>
  5. Sarvodaya<\/strong>: It means Universal Upliftment of\nall. By inclusiveness many evils of the society can be removed.<\/li>
  6. Dignity of Labor: <\/strong>Gandhi tried to established equality\namong all by making bread labor compulsory to all.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Role and relevance of Gandhian ethics in conflict resolution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The Gandhian technique of conflict\nresolution is through satyagraha which has been interpreted as passive\nresistance, nonviolent resistance etc. Satyagraha according to Gandhi is\nholding on to Truth. <\/li>
    2. A satyagrahi enjoys a degree of\nfreedom not possible for others, for he becomes a truly fearless person. Once\nhis mind is rid of fear, he will never agree to be another’s slave. Having\nachieved this state of mind he will never submit to any arbitrary action.<\/li>
    3. Satyagraha is more than a method of\nconflict resolution that lends itself easily to scientific analysis. It is in\nfact an ethical system that places heavy emphasis on the quality of the\nrelationship between individuals.<\/li>
    4. According to Gandhian ethics the\nsense of mutual satisfaction with the outcome, need to be stressed for conflict\nresolution. <\/li>
    5. Nonviolent action is the most\nimportant method in the process of conflict resolution. The technique of\nnonviolent action conducts protest, resistance and intervention without\nphysical violence by:<\/li>
    6. acts\nof omission- the participants refuse to perform acts which they usually\nperform, are expected by customs to performs, or are required by law or\nregulation to perform.<\/li>
    7.  acts of commission- that is, the participants\nperform acts that they usually do not perform, are not expected by custom to\nperform, or are forbidden by law or regulation from performing.<\/li>
    8. a\ncombination of both.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Modern world is full of multidimensional and multidisciplinary conflicts involving use of physical and psychological violent tools. Gandhian approach addresses the issue of conflict at individual level. Gandhi\u2019s approach is still very relevant in modern complex resolution and there is a need to revive and resurrect the philosophy at the level of institutions that are working for conflict resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
