Ananda Wood

Old Sciences in India: An Introduction (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Since the introduction of printing in 15th century Europe, Western science has become increasingly mechanized, both in its conception and its application to the world. But sadly, that mechanical development has come to be increasingly one-sided. Our modern sciences are thus now excessively mechanical. They overemphasize the use of external instruments and machines, in the pursuit of narrowly material objects. And they tend to neglect the education of our living faculties: as subtle instruments which enable us to do things better, think more clearly, feel more fairly, understand more deeply, and know more correctly what is true. This book is concerned with such educating sciences: as they have long been practiced in India and to quite some extent also in the West."

Autorenporträt

Dr Ananda Wood, as his name suggests, is one of those people with a rather mixed background. He was born and brought up in India, studied mathematics at King's College, Cambridge, and went on to a Doctorate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. After his university education, he returned to India, where he has settled down to concentrate on a long-standing interest, in the modern interpretation of Advaita philosophy. He is currently a moderator on the Advaitin e-group at yahoo.com. Most of his books and articles may be accessed at www.advaitin.net/Ananda/
