When Darwin met Patañjali
Evolution in modern Hindu discourse
----------------------------------------------------------
Public lecture by Prof. Dr. Dermot Killingley | Newcastle upon Tyne
Seminarraum 1 des Instituts für Südasien-, Tibet- und Buddhismuskunde
Universitätscampus, Spitalgasse 2, Hof 2.7,, 1090 Wien
Vortrag
Darwin's book On the Origin of Species was well-known in India soon after its publication in 1859, and his name soon became associated with "evolution" —though the word does not occur in the first edition of the book. This lecture examines the affinity which Hindu thinkers found between evolution and ancient Indian accounts of the origin of the universe.
