Details here: <a href="https://www.routledge.com/Science-and-Religion-in-India-Beyond-Disenchantment/Thomas/p/book/9781032073194" target="_blank">https://www.routledge.com/Science-and-Religion-in-India-Beyond-Disenchantment/Thomas/p/book/9781032073194</a></div><div><br></div><div>From the blurb:<br></div><div></div><div>This book provides an in-depth ethnographic study of science and
religion in the context of South Asia, giving voice to Indian scientists
and shedding valuable light on their engagement with religion. Drawing
on biographical, autobiographical, historical, and ethnographic
material, the volume focuses on scientists’ religious life and
practices, and the variety of ways in which they express them. Renny
Thomas challenges the idea that science and religion in India are
naturally connected and argues that the discussion has to go beyond
binary models of ‘conflict’ and ‘complementarity’. By complicating the
understanding of science and religion in India, the book engages with
new ways of looking at these categories.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Joseph Satish V</div><div>PhD Student<br></div><div>University of Hyderabad, INDIA<br></div><br></div>
