title: The Coffee House and the Ashram: Gandhi, Civil Society and Public Spheres creator: Hoeber Rudolph, Susanne creator: Rudolph, Lloyd I. subject: ddc-900 subject: 900 Geography and history description: This paper considers what light the associational forms that Gandhi created shed on the debate about civil society and the public sphere in political and social theory. As John Keane remarks, "reflexive, self-organizing non-governmental organizations that some call civil society can and do live by other names in other linguistic and cultural milieus". How does his "Indian" variant square with the practice and concept of civil society and public sphere as they have evolved in European history, thought and practice? date: 2003 type: Working paper type: info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/3723/1/hpsacp15.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00003723 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-37233 identifier: Hoeber Rudolph, Susanne ; Rudolph, Lloyd I.
