Religion, Morality and Socio-Political Philosophy : a Comparative Study of John Dewey and Ambedkar’S

The present study tries to examine John Dewey and Ambedkar’s views on religious morality and sociopolitical philosophy in which both Ambedkar and John Dewey shared same ideas. Dewey opined that many religions generally consider themselves to be great. Their religious morality is important because they give more importance to human values. According to him practising a dignified social life is the greatest religion than other religions. In the same way, Ambedkar’s model of theory on religion is a good model available for us in India to emulate. We need to follow Ambedkar’s methodology not only to learn from the great master and achieve what he did, but also to carry forward his struggle to liberate all stigmas. It is quite clear that Ambedkar and John Deweys’ intervention in the philosophical realm is clearly guided by the sociopolitical reason. This book takes its independent stand on this philosophical ground.
