Synopsis
In this book Ashis Nandy analyses aspects of the lives of two Indian pioneers of science: physicist and plant physiologist Jagadis Chandra Bose (1853-1937) and mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), to show how sonie of the carrent concems of philosophy and sociology of science were anticipated by the alternative orientations to science they offered. The focus is on the different ways in which Bose and Ramanujan coped with the culture of modem science, the synthesis they attempted between their cultural selves and the demands of a new professional role, and the personal and cultural resources that diey brought to their creativity. This pioneering study shows the extent to which an individual's personal conflicts car mirror as well as dramatize the central social crises of his or her time, and how the individual's private search for meaning car epitomize the societlr's search for a new self-definition.
