This new text is a detailed study of an important process in modern
Indian history. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century, India experienced an intellectual renaissance, which owed
as much to the influx of new ideas from the West as to traditional
religious and cultural insights.
Gosling examines the effects of the introduction of Western
science into India, and the relationship between Indian traditions
of thought and secular Western scientific doctrine. He charts the
early development of science in India, its role in the
secularization of Indian society, and the subsequent reassertion,
adaptation and rejection of traditional modes of thought. The
beliefs of key Indian scientists, including Jagadish Chandra Bose,
P.C. Roy and S.N. Bose are explored and the book goes on to reflect
upon how individual scientists could still accept particular
religious beliefs such as reincarnation, cosmology, miracles and
prayer.
Science and the Indian Tradition gives an in-depth assessment of
results of the introduction of Western science into India, and will
be of interest to scholars of Indian history and those interested
in the interaction between Western and Indian traditions of
intellectual thought.
