Few words on Science and Philosophy in Ancient India | সায়েন্স অ্যান্ড ফিলোজফি ইন এনসিএন্ট ইন্ডিয়া


Debiprasad Chattopadhyay (1918-1993) generally preferred to present his research in the form of book-length studies. Although best known for his highly influential work, Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism (1959), in the last years of his life he had concentrated on the study of History and Philosophy of Science in ancient India. It began with Science and Society in Ancient India (1977), a work devoted exclusively to the sociology and philosophy of medicine and surgery as found in the two great medical compilations, the Charaka Samhita and the Susruta Samhita respectively. Later he led a whole team of collaborators to study the origin and development of science and technology in India from a radically novel point of view.   Unlike his predecessors he chose to begin from the pre-Vedic Harappan civilization. Thus archaeological findings were given precedence over purely literary sources. In the eight essays collected in this volume, he concentrates on mathematics and medicines in ancient India by tracing the fundamental aspects of these two disciplines of science.
