An Introductory Outline of Knowledge Production in Pre-Colonial India (2016)

unapi

In the introduction we seek to discuss the features of knowledge production in pre-modern India by taking astronomy as a case of illustration. It is an effort in the perspective of historical epistemology that inquires into the premises, inferential logic, proof, concept of truth, and method of confirmation of knowledge. It is an examination of the link of the concept of objectivity, rationality, and methodology at distinct stages of the production of knowledge as indicated by the tradition of vyākhyā and bhāya. What the introduction seeks to highlight is the progress of methodological pre-occupation in knowledge production of Pre-colonial India, which starts from the axiomatic approach to the insistence of confirmation through the production proof over the centuries.
