About this ebook
Ideas build civilisations, Ideals provide vitality and freedom to propel civilisations to greatness. From Plato to Gandhi, Cicero to Lincoln, great ideas have been impressing the minds and conscience of the people, setting afire their imagination, motivating them to rise to new heights, to seek newer means of endeavour, to tread new paths towards greatness and accomplishment.
In these thought-provoking essays Dr. Radhakrishnan explores the power of ideas and ideals which shape growth and propel the human civilisation forward.
