ABSTRACT
In the social discourse originating from the West, primary focus has been on the force of market and force of state. Accordingly, ideologies such as capitalism and socialism originated. This Western categorization provides us only one sides view of human existence. This social discourse ignores the y axis represented by force of people/capillary action and force of self as autonomous forces. It is here that Mahatma Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo enter the domain of social discourse to arrive at a new vision of the society beyond the traditional discourse of capitalism and socialism. Two key ideas from these thinkers to shape the future vision of society are: (1) Economics of Gandhi, and (2) Spirituality of Sri Aurobindo. In this chapter we use these two ideas for a future social vision.
