Science and Society in the Sanskrit World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004522312)

Science and Society in the Sanskrit World contains seventeen essays that cover a kaleidoscopic array of classical Sanskrit scientific disciplines, such as the astral sciences, grammar, jurisprudence, theology, and hermeneutics. The volume foregrounds a unifying theme to Christopher Z. Minkowski's intellectual oeuvre: that scholars' scientific endeavors are inseparable from the social worlds that shaped those scholars' lives.
