About the Book
This incisive work examines the complex relationship between science and ideology. Challenging the notion that science develops solely from its internal logic, Ashish Lahiri argues that scientific progress has historically unfolded through continuous struggle against extra-scientific ideological pressures.
From colonial India to nineteenth-century Europe and contemporary global contexts, science has faced resistance from various ideological formations—including creationism, Hindutva-oriented interpretations, strands of religious fundamentalism, and certain rigid political doctrines. The book investigates how these ideological currents attempt to influence or redirect scientific discourse.
Rather than offering simplistic conclusions, the author focuses on raising critical questions about the dialectical conflict between science and belief systems. Spanning 144 pages, this paperback provides a thought-provoking exploration of science, politics, and intellectual freedom.
