Responses are interesting, 

Notably De Cruz- 

> For example, we might ask whether the Vedānta concept of _ātman_ (the self) is compatible with contemporary neuroscientific conceptions of the self (Deshmukh 2022).


Graham Priest's response hides the nature of the renaissance, lit by the pagan Plethon.

Thanks for sharing varya.. A quick look at the abstract puzzles me (quoted next). The words should be "..shows that religion and science are necessarily not antagonistic", at least the way I understand that word... Hope the editors have conveniently not introduced the error!
  

Abstract

A look at the history and evolution of Hinduism shows that religion and science are necessarily antagonistic. Scientific enterprises flourished in India partly because of the pluralistic and tolerant nature of Hinduism. The pedagogical strategy and the commentary tradition in ancient Hindu schools meant that sages and philosophers were perpetually engaged in reinterpreting the Vedas and defending their interpretation of the doctrine against fellow Hindus and other heterodox traditions like Buddhism, Jainism, and the Cārvākas (the materialists) in ancient India. To support this hypothesis, the author of this chapter offers some examples of scientific enterprises that flourished in ancient India.
