| Résumé: | This paper is in conversation with Richard Sorabjis reading of the Gandhi Tagore debate. On Sorabjis account freedom was an important issue in that debate as Gandhi was unable to appreciate Tagores emphasis on individual freedom as creativity. While I agree that freedom was an important issue, I argue that Gandhi understood and employed the resources made available by individual creativity. The differences arose because Gandhi thought of freedom as creativity primarily in moral rather than aesthetic terms. |
