In War and Self-Determination, Sri Aurobindo writes on the sovereignty of nations in the aftermath of the First World War.
Five of the essays making up War and Self-Determination were published in the Arya between 1916 and 1920. In 1920 three of them—“The Passing of War?”, “The Unseen Power” and “Self-Determination”—along with a Foreword and a newly written essay, “The League of Nations”, were published as a book. In later editions the other two Arya essays, “1919” and “After the War”, were added by the editors.
The first talk of this series gives us a general overview of Sri Aurobindo’s writings and the necessity of reading them.
In this English talk on Sri Aurobindo’s writings, we take up the second volume of CWSA (The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo) “Collected Poems”.
This talk is the summary of the series of talks on The Essays on The Gita: CWSA 19.
