Needham Question
This Book is basically an outcome of addressing the famous Needham Question that why Science as we know it developed in 17th Century West Europe, but not in India or China in spite of their very rich empirio-philosophical traditions . In fact this intrigued science historians for a long time that , what basically can be delineated as cause of scientific revolution in 17th Century West Europe . What it is that can possibly be identified as typical of contemporary European culture which effectively triggered the outbreak of a new worldview there departing from the Greek and theological legacy ? In this Book I discussed these issues from a comparative perspective of Theory formations in Indian and Western traditions . What makes the theoretical cultures different in India and Europe and other collateral issues in substantial details.
