Gandhi Journal Article - III
Science, Truth and
Gandhi: Divergence and Convergence
Madhav Govind
Gandhi's notion of truth
transcended the narrow conception of truth articulated by science. Gandhi's
criticisms of science emanated not only from the blind application of science
but also from the methods and practices of scientists to acquire scientific
knowledge. He advocated for the incorporation of "theo-centric"
humanism within the body of science and technical practices to bring back the
much needed humility in man and to put an end to the arrogance prevalent today
in the pursuit of knowledge and its application.
