The perspective of historical interpretation here, as in the previous volumes of the PHISPC series, is interpretative pluralism.

Great disciplines of Yoga such as Jnana, Karma and Bhakti apart, numerous schools bearing the name developed in India over the centuries, ...

With the Industrial Revolution in the West began a spurt in scientific and technological developments. Which have undergone spectacular, at once amazing changes with the atomic, electronic, and ‘chip’ revolution of the 20th century. The East, which gave the seeds of civilization to the other world: philosophies, religions, logic, mathematics, science and arts, regressed into oblivion – due to reasons that are not far to seek. In India, the ...

Each of the 11 parts of the book highlights contributions in a particular area of physics, judged significant by a common international standard. It begins by charting the path from quantum field theory to string theory. It then proceeds to developments in classical physics, from probability and stochastic processes to nonlinear ...
Philosophy of Science draws upon different traditions in Western philosophy, starting from the ancient Greek. However, there is a conspicuous absence of non-Western philosophical traditions, including the Indian, in philosophy of science. This book argues that Indian rational traditions such as Indian logic, drawn from both Buddhist and Nyaya philosophies, are not only relevant for philosophy of science but are also intrinsically concerned with scientific ...
