“…[…] But we shall at least have helped save man from the solitude to which [Nazism] wanted to relegate him. 94 Camus felt such a radical demand to help the other because he believed that in a world with no ultimate meaning, where the absurd "militates against moral commitments, social involvements and political responsibility," the human being remained as the only value on which to base rebellion, freedom and passion. 95 Camus was morally committed to the dignity of the human being because it was the only source of value and truth in his-and our-violent, modern world.…”

“…He will plainly tell the master: 'I was your bondslave till this moment, but I am a slave no longer'." 94 The two thinkers converge in their appeal to an ultimate value, 95 which for Camus is the dignity and essence of human life, while Gandhi emphasizes the oneness of all life as sacred. Gandhi's concept of Truth acts to undermine an external authority which would seek to suppress and destroy the moral autonomy and authority of individuals.…”

Nonviolence is an evolving theory and practice of empowerment committed to social equality and justice that attempts to minimize violence in everyday life and promote social change. Nonviolence may entail holistic approaches aimed at all forms of violence, including direct, structural, ecological, and cultural (symbolic and epistemic), or it may apply specifically to engaging in conflict without resorting to violence.

Gandhi was best known as “Mahatma,” an honorific title meaning “Great Soul,” bestowed on him by people of India because of his reputation for self‐sacrifice and saintly conduct. The term is not usually given to politicians, but Gandhi earned it even before 1919 when he assumed leadership of the Indian struggle for independence from British colonial rule. Born on October 2, 1869 in the city of Porbandar on the western coast of India, his family was relatively affluent but of the vaisya caste which ranks third in the hierarchical order of Hindu society. He graduated from an anglicized high school in 1887 at the nearby town of Rajkot, having married four years earlier to Kasturbai Makanji (1869–1944) when they were both only 13. They eventually had four sons: Harilal (1888), Manilal (1892), Ramdas (1897), and Devadas (1900). As Gandhi makes clear in his autobiography, his personal life remained intimately interwoven with his career as a social and political reformer. His immediate family not only joined in his causes, but went to jail with him.
