The art of grammar in context: 'Science', human interest, and the construction of cultural and political worlds

Résumé

The Indian grammatical tradition is in three major ways relevant to the problem of ‘scientification’ and ‘scientism’ in the humanities, including especially, in the context of this conference, in the humanities from the 19th century onwards: (1) as a modern example of ‘scientification’, or, more precisely: of ‘occidental’ and modern scientification in our understanding of ancient Indian knowledge systems ; (2) as an instructive historical alternative for ‘scientification’; (3) as partner in philosophical dialogue. In the present essay I will briefly discuss the first three points (the third point very briefly), and add some reflections on the role of the Art of Grammar in a future perspective on the social sciences and humanities, and on ‘social science fiction’.
