Indians by and large are still in the age of magic. The post modern world has meanwhile moved beyond the age of reason. Quote below from Keynes. https://t.co/4Kjr3m86T8

I remember one argument on this site, where I had asserted that Netwon was the greatest scientific mind of the last 500 years vs people arguing for Einstein and Darwin (LOL). This puts my reason into words much better than I can.

Because of the sheer aesthetic repulsiveness of Darwinistic thinking (Not a comment on whether it is true or not, that is irrelevant). In that sense it is the opposite of Newtonian thinking.

While esthetics have a deep evolutionary root, evaluations such as the below are purely subjective even as Hindu temple architecture is deeply repulsive to the Abrahamistically conditioned when compared to Saracenic productions. They say more about the individual than the foundations of biology. The deeper implications of the sciences cannot be understood by a superficial study. The Newtonian physics you learn in junior college with relatively basic calculus only gives you a superficial understanding of it and unless you are endowed with genius or put in serious effort into studying it more deeply you don't see is deeper significance. Now the education in biology is more shaky. Armed with just that it will be difficult to fathom its foundations i.e. the evolutionary theory. But if you put in enough study to master its foundations you will see things that will make the essence of statements like the above look naïve at best. darshana-s are fine but 1 must remember that for all their glory they are mostly coupled the bronze age or at best some layer of premodern science. This necessarily makes less complete than they can be if they were to move along in the other domains of knowledge.

He may indeed be seen as such an attempt. but personally he's formulation is not my cup of tea because 1) as in the days of yore is still darshana-s should have a link to religion and in my case that would old vaidika polytheism; 2) I don't see a subsuming of evolutionary theory

Does Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga darshana attempt (which tries to subsume Darwinian evolution) fulfill a contemporary darshanic need? Any other such attempts?
