Description: Basic principles and concepts of a modern approach to Indian academic psychology based on the ancient Vedic Lore and the teachings of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh.
Introducing Indian psychology: the basics Introducing Indian psychology: the basics By Matthijs Cornelissen, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry Every scientific discipline has its specific protocols, procedures, and methodologies that are considered essential in order to arrive at valid knowledge. These approaches are based on well-established presumptions about reality and about knowledge that, within each field, are rarely made explicit and even more rarely questioned. It is hard to challenge these fundamental premises because so much of the discipline is built on them. Almost everything the discipline has achieved is contingent on their inviolability. And yet, if we want to consider introducing traditional Indian psychology within modern academic psychology we must examine the presumptions underlying both systems with great care. If we fail to appreciate the enormous differences between the two systems and the intricate manner in which they are related to each other, we are likely to miss out on the very essence of what Indian psychology could contribute to the world and especially to psychology as an academic science.
