Více o knize

Focusing on the Social Construction of Theory and comparative epistemology, this book examines the interplay between cultures during the colonial era and its impact on 19th-century thought. It critiques the linguistic studies that contributed to the acceptance of the empirically weak Aryan Invasion Theory, revealing how socio-religious influences shape academic narratives. The work emphasizes that scholarly advancements are often intertwined with contemporary socio-political contexts, ultimately arguing that academic research is susceptible to the biases of comparative epistemology.
