History Science And Society In the Indian Context A collection of Papers-Ed. Arun Kumar Biswas
| The
Asiatic Society, Calcutta, has been conducting, every year, intensive short
courses in the area of history of science. The present monograph HISTORY,
SCIENCE AND SOCIETY IN THE INDIAN CONTEXT is a compilation of some of the
lectures delivered by experts on various facets of the broad theme.23
articles contributed by 20 authors have been classified in this book under
six sections : general observations, science in the ancient world, S & T
in pre-modern India, salient features in modern science, S & T in
post-independence India and lastly, social factors in the promotion of S
& T.An attempt has been made to resuscitate the subject of history of
science and broaden it to include philosophy, sociology and planning of S
& T in India. It has been emphasized that the studies on history of
science should never ignore other aspects of civilization and cultural
values, the principle of causality and integration of the history of the past
with the planning for future. We hope that the scholars may appreciate this
special pedagogic endeavour.Frontispiece shows Acharyya Jagadis Chandra Bose
