Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth analysis of the history and evolution of the major disciplines of science, which include the basic sciences, bioscience, natural sciences and medical science, with special emphasis on the Indian perspective. While academic interest shown in the history and philosophy of science dates back to several centuries, serious scholarship on how the sciences and the society interact and influence each other can only be dated back to the twentieth century. This volume explores the ethical and moral issues related to social values, along with the controversies that arise in relation to the discourse of science from the philosophical perspectives. The book sheds light on themes that have proved to have a significant and overwhelming influence on present-day civilisation. It takes the reader through a journey, on how the sciences have developed and have been discussed, to explore key themes like the colonial influences on science; how key scientific ideas have developed from Aristotle to Newton; history of ancient Indian mathematics; agency, representation, deviance with regard to the human body in science; bioethics; mental health, psychology and the sciences; setting up of the first teaching departments for subjects such as medicine, ecology and physiology in India; recent research in chemical technology; and even the legacy of ancient Indian scientific discoveries. A part of the Contemporary Issues in Social Science Research series, this interdisciplinary work will be of immense interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, modern history, sociology of medicine, physical sciences, bioscience, chemistry and medical sciences. It will be of interest to the general reader also.

He was recognized the world-over and bestowed the Nobel Prize for Physics. He deserved the honour that India gave him by proclaiming him as the Bharat Ratna.A true Indian at heart; he made his country proud by relentlessly pursuing a belief that he had – that light scatters and changes in wavelength when it traverses a transparent material. This phenomena earned the name of Raman scattering and the result of the Raman effect.The Raman effect led to further research in science. Raman spectroscopy was based on this phenomena and then the quantum photon spin. He carried out experiments on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves – named as the acousto-optic effect; spectroscopic behaviour of crystals; etc.His world revolved round science and he viewed the world from that perspective. Therefore; his life is an interesting one focused on Physics. The author has thrown light on this great physicist’s life successfully.

Download or read book Journey Into Light written by Ganesan Venkataraman and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of Raman is familiar to science not only through the effect that bears his name, but also due to derivative names such as stimulated Raman scattering and Raman laser. However, other than that he won the Nobel Prize, little is generally know about the man himself. But the story is fascinating. Raman fiercely cherished his independence and rejected government support for his research. A sharp critic of many government policies, he was often misunderstood and maligned, though his commitment to science and to its growth in India never wavered. Venkataraman's account deals with all these aspects of Raman's life and work, besides placing them in a proper perspective vis-a-vis the overall Indian scene. Numerous quotations help capture the mood and excitement of those times. The book is not only a lively biography of a colorful personality, but also required reading for anyone with a serious interest in and concern for Indian science.

Book excerpt: Religion and Science: terms briefly explained (In this thesis, I am concerned with natural sciences as well as Hindu and Islam as religion) Religion and science are two major sources that have guided mankind from historical time. Both of them have greatly influenced all aspects of human life. In certain cases both religion and science have looked into those problems and clashes that need urgent attention. There is a popular belief that religion and science are two basically opposite poles. There are several definitions of religion, which imply a relationship not merely between men and men, but also between man and some moral power that attempts to find out the ways for human perfection. Some definitions have pointed out that whenever and wherever man has a sense of dependence on external moral powers which are conceived as mysterious as and higher than man's own, there is religion. The feeling of awe and self-abasement with which man is filled in the presence of such mysterious powers is essentially a religions emotion, the root of worship and prayer. The internal aspect of religion is the body of ideas, convictions and emotions concerning man's relations with God, while its external aspect is the system of prayers, ceremonies and rites through which the religious feeling is manifested. On the other hand science has a different method and different definition. Many scientists believe that science is applied to solving modern problems of technological and humanistic nature. The question of whether religion is compatible with science has occupied a prominent place in the discussions of the nineteenth century and some thinkers have held the view that science and religion are incompatible. In the midst of this controversy it,
