Since its inception, the philosophy of science has focused almost exclusively on Western philosophy. Yet as the West begins to wake up to the limits of its own thought and the riches of non-Western approaches, we're beginning to ask what have we been missing? Founder-Director of the Manipal Centre for Philosophy and Humanities, Sundar Sarukkai, uses the Indian philosophical tradition to make the case for non-western philosophy's paramount place.
