This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion series
examines how Asian spiritual traditions -- primarily the religions
of India and China - interacted and influenced the understanding of
the natural world over the last two millennia. Unlike the religious
and scientific traditions of the Christian West, which developed in
tandem, or even the Islamic world, which helped the rise of Western
science, the Asian religious traditions did not encounter Western
science until relatively recently. This has led to a unique
relationship between these two cultural phenomena. The volume will
also address the impact of Western science had on these traditions,
as well as the impact on western science of the recent study of
Asian religions by New Age groups and philosophers. Science and
Asian Spiritual Traditions covers the entire history of the
interaction between science and Asian religions: The Natural World
in Chinese thought BLMedicine in China BLEcology and the
Environment BLAstronomy and Astrology BLTechnology BLAsia

Spiritual Traditions. In addition, the volume includes primary
source documents, a bibliography of resources for further study, a
timeline, and a glossary.
