An edition of Vedanta and modern science (1978)

Vedanta and modern science

In this book Dr. SINHA has made a comprehensive study of the concepts of Science and Vedanta. He has shown that Vedanta supplements Science. In his view, the concepts of Vedanta are more versatile and inclusive than those of science Scientists have to remain satisfied with empirical truth because scientific method is incapable of knowing anything beyond empirical reality. the Vedantic seers, on the other hand,had direct intuitive comprehension of the nature of Ultimate Reality. Anyone including scientists can have heirarchies of intuitive insights into the various facets of reality through Yogic meditation. The author has further pointed out that science and technology are value neutral and they are incapable of giving a meaningful life view to human beings.Vedanta on the other hand embodies revealed truth and can give a meaningful orientation to humans to dispel the darkness of empirical knowledge. He has therefore, enunciated the theory of World Teleology which is a link between empirical Reality and Ultimate Reality and it can enable both scientific researchers and spiritual aspirants to transcend from empirical plane to trans-empirical plane in order to have intuitive glimpses of Ultimate Reality. This supreme aim can be achieved if the ancient Indian concept of 'Darsana" (revealed knowledge) is revived once again in the context of modernscientific knowledge.Contents are 1) VEDANTIC TRADITION 2) FOUNDATIONS OF THE VEDANTIC WAY OF LIFE 3) SADHANA AS A WAY OF LIFE 4) THE SUPRAMENTAL YOGA OF SRI AUROBINDO 5) YOGA QAND TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILISATION 6) MEETING GROUND OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIOENCE 7) INTUITION AS ULTIMATE SOURCE OF ADVANCE OFKNOWLEDGE 8) TELIC CONTINUITY BETWEEN LIGHT LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS 9) TELIC FOUNDATION OF NATURE AND HUMAN CIVILATION 10) SANKARA'S DOCTRINE OF NESCIENCE IN CONTEXT OF PRESENT DAY SCIENCE 11) PHILOSOPHICAL AND SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AS PLAY 12) TELIC THEORY OF SOCIAL SYSTEM 13) BEHAVOURIAL NORMS OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN AN OPEN SOCIAL SYSTEM 14) FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC THEORY 15) THE FUTURE OF PHILOSOPHY
