About The Book:
Science and Philosophy in Ancient India presents the pioneering work of Debiprasad Chattopadhyay, one of India's most prominent scholars in the history and philosophy of science. Known for his earlier influential work, Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism (1959), Chattopadhyay’s later years were dedicated to studying the development of science and philosophy in ancient India. This book marks his shift towards a more comprehensive study, focusing on the history of science in India, with a particular emphasis on ancient mathematics and medicine.
In this collection of eight essays, Chattopadhyay traces the origins and development of science, focusing on mathematics and medicine in ancient India. His approach is radically different from that of his predecessors, as he emphasizes archaeological findings over purely literary sources, starting with the pre-Vedic Harappan civilization. His research in this volume seeks to highlight the critical contributions of ancient Indian civilizations in the fields of mathematics and medicine, grounded in the philosophical and scientific traditions that shaped them.
Chattopadhyay's approach provides a fresh perspective on the historical contributions of India to science and philosophy, offering new insights into ancient Indian thought and its influence on the world.
