Science and the Indian Tradition: When Einstein Met Tagore
By David Gosling
India experienced an intellectual renaissance during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, that owed as much to the influx of new ideas from
the West as to traditional religious and cultural insights. This book examines
the effects of the introduction of Western science in India, and the
relationship between Indian traditions of thought and Western science. It
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. Ii looks at the detailed beliefs of Indian
scientists, including Jagadish Chandra Bose, SN. Bose and P.C. Roy, and
reflects upon how individual scientists could accept particular religious beliefs
such as reincarnation, cosmology, miracles and prayer. It discusses some of
the adaptations of traditional Indian beliefs with insights from Western
science, in particular the place of science within the philosophy of
Rabindranath Tagore and the 1930 discussions between Einstein and
Tagore on the nature of reality. It is argued that the Hindu, Muslim and
Christian philosophical and religious traditions have nothing to fear from
scientific theories such as evolution and a unified field theory; indeed they
may be mutually compatible. David Gosling’s book provides here a detailed
assessment of the results of the introduction of Western science into India,
and the book will be of interest to students of history, philosophy and science
alike. Oxon, Routledge, 2007. Location (MG University Central Library: first
