Spirituality played a key role in the construction of Indian
modernity. While science has certainly been an agent of
modernization in India and other non-Western countries, what makes
Indian modernity somewhat special is that spiritual leaders have
also been instrumental in the process. Moreover, leading Indian
scientists and spiritualists have recognized the immense potential
for dialogue between the two disciplines. Post-colonial India, with
its ready access to a holistic spirituality and significant
achievements in science and technology, is a fertile site for such
a dialogue.
Each of the book's four sections addresses specific themes: (1)
The tension not just between science and spirituality, but also
between the East and West; (2) How some key figures in India became
carriers of modern consciousness, and explored the relationship
between science and spirituality in the very process of trying to
reform their society; (3) Significant areas of research in which
science and spirituality are both deeply implicated; (4) The
relationship of both scientific and spiritual practice with gender
and social justice.
