This two-day conference will explore the interplay between science and philosophy in the premodern period of South Asia. The region, known for its diverse cultures and dynamic intellectual traditions, has made significant contributions to various scientific and philosophical domains. Our international group of speakers, experts in the fields of Indic philosophy and the history of science, will shed light on these contributions, exploring the interconnectedness of knowledge systems in premodern South Asia and examining the philosophical underpinnings that guided scientific inquiry in the region.
