The Indian Knowledge System: Creative Dialogue on Intellectual Traditions in the 21st Century

This pioneering volume makes a vital intervention to the growing movement of decolonising conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches in social sciences.By exploring the profound depth and diversity of Indian intellectual traditions, it positions this knowledge system as an essential resource for democratising philosophical dialogue across global traditions.The book restores the 'mediative flow' in the Indian knowledge system and proposes a democratic negotiation among different epistemological frameworks, offering pathways toward a renewed philosophy capable of addressing humanity's most pressing challenges.Through engagement with original ancient texts and lived practices, the authors develop nuanced approaches that enrich contemporary social science research methodologies.The volume presents a rich tapestry of intellectual traditions spanning the Indian subcontinent-from classical texts like the Panchatantra and Mahabharata to the Indigenous traditions of Adivasi communities
