The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c5.s6.11

c5.s6.11

Such passsages indicate that the bearings of positivism on Indian culture-history and the data of comparative methodology have not been fully assimilated as yet. It is interesting, however, to observe that in Berr's preface the "individuality" of India is *non-politique mais psychologique*, i.e., not to be found in politics but in psychology (p. v). We see, therefore, that in any case the political aspects of Hindu civilization have been lifted out of their splendid isolation. The recognition of India's affinities with the rest of the world in political genius by the French scholars of today constitutes undoubtedly an important event in the reconstruction of Hindu positivism.
