Concept Note
The Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) represents an enduring intellectual tradition that embodies a holistic approach to understanding the universe, society, and the individual. Far from being a mere collection of ancient texts, IKS is a living tradition that integrates philosophy, faith, science, art, and lived experience into a comprehensive framework. This seminar aims to explore the profound insights of the IKS, fostering dialogues that illuminate its relevance in contemporary discourse on faith and civilizational identity. By delving into the multidisciplinary facets of IKS, we seek to understand its foundational principles, its contributions to human thought, and its potential to offer innovative solutions to modern challenges.
We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to contribute to this enriching dialogue, exploring how the wisdom embedded in the Indian Knowledge System can inform and inspire a deeper understanding of our shared human heritage and identity.
