Synopsis
This volume critically examines the role of science in the social sciences. It studies how humanities in South Asia and Europe underwent a transformation with the adoption of scientific methods, turning ancient cultural processes and phenomena into an enhanced scientific structure.
The essays in this book,
- Examine the role of humanities and social sciences in the globalised world with the intention of working out commonalities and differences.
- Discuss the development of science as a discipline in the modern and historical contexts, and the differences between modern science, scientification, and pseudoscience.
- Study the interactions between bodies of knowledge such as Sanskrit and computer science; mathematics and Vedic mathematics; science and pilosophy.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, Indology, linguistics, history, philosophy of science and social science.
