Sankhya and Science: Applications of Vedic Philosophy to Modern Science by Ashish Dalela
why the observer needs a central place in science the dominantly materialist outlook of modern Science leaves a lot unexplained. This includes the nature of sensation, concepts, beliefs and judgments, and an understanding of morality. Science was developed by evicting all aspects of the subject from its theories, and this has now become a hindrance in the scientific study of the observer. does the eviction of subjective qualities only impact the understanding of the subject, or does it also affect the understanding of Matter within Science? The dominant belief today is that the current view of Matter is nearly final and mind and consciousness will be soon explained based on it. this deeper understanding of mind and Matter also builds up the conceptual framework for understanding other complex topics such as Vedic cosmology, meditation, mantras, prana, reincarnation and karma. The book illustrates how the choices of consciousness are first converted into meanings in the mind, which are then converted into energy, which is then converted into material objects through incremental steps.
by the end of the book, The author builds a new approach to doing Science. This paradigm will be able to explain more phenomena than current theories, and will solve the problems of indeterminism, uncertainty and incompleteness which plague current sciences.
how is this book different?
most people drawing parallels between Science and Eastern philosophy end up claiming that the Eastern mystics knew thousands of years back what modern Science discovered only recently. This conclusion may be satisfying as a bridge between religion and Science, but it is ultimately futile-iff the mystical viewpoint is similar to the materialist view then why we still need mysticism?.
