ABSTRACT

The inaugural chapter introduces various concepts from Modern Physics from empiricist point of view and compared similar concepts from ancient Indian philosophy which are mainly based on introspective data. Although the methodologies followed by science and those followed by the ancients are radically different, the endeavors of both scientists and metaphysicians to secure insight referred to the same object – the man and the world. It also touches upon the methodologies which science calls “Empiricism” in contrast to “Introspection”.
