The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c5.s4.33

c5.s4.33

In these clear-out and synthetic statements of the British indologist we have already the principles of positivism accepted in a forceful manner. The principles of positivism and humanism as developed between 1910 and 1922 have become integral parts, so to say, in the intellectual apparatus and cultural orientations of Indian indologists as well. Not only the direct quotations but the very words and phrases and the mode of presentation as well as the style of treatment found in the indological investigations of Indian scholars bear testimony to their assimilation, in a general manner, of the "new logic" as desired by the present author during those years.
