Consciousness, Indian psychology, and yoga

Consciousness, Indian Psychology and Yoga is one of set of four volumes purported to launch the sub-project Consciousness, Science, Society, Value and Yoga (Conssavy), which is an extension of the PHISPC. Devoted to the exploration of consciousness, this volume is part of an on-going effort to bring the Indic tradition and the social sciences closer together. Its focus is on three major contributions: a deep and many-faceted understanding of consciousness, a well-worked of the subject domain, and a variety of effective methods to transcend and transform human nature. Just as western science has used physical technology to increase our knowledge and power in the physical domain, so the Indic tradition has used yoga to create an immense wealth of insight and wisdom in the psychological domain. The five sections of this book deal with: the central role of consciousness in Indian psychology; different paths of Yoga; the coming together of Indian and Western systems of psychological thought; Indian approaches to core issues of theoretical psychology; and finally, Indian contributions to various aspects of applied psychology, which range from physical healt to sustainable development, management and psychotherapy.
