These conference proceedings contribute to academia by sharing interdisciplinary insights across the sciences and humanities from Eastern and Western perspectives regarding life and cognition. The conference resulted in our realization of the congruence between nonreductionist systems approaches to modern science (especially biology) and Hegelian philosophy, thus we intend to explore this further and encourage others to consider the same.

Namaste. These conference proceedings contribute to academia by sharing interdisciplinary insights across the sciences and humanities from Eastern and Western perspectives regarding life and cognition. They include a brief introduction of each speaker, the abstract that each speaker personally provided, and then a summary of each talk written by the editor. Some summaries are followed by relevant notes that tie the talks together and bring them into a more cohesive dialogue with what the Princeton Bhakti Vedanta Institute hoped to discuss during Science & Scientist 2023: Life & Cognition at the Intersection of Science, Philosophy, & Religion.

The conference resulted in our realization of the congruence between nonreductionist systems approaches to modern science (especially biology) and Hegelian philosophy, thus we intend to explore this further and encourage others to consider the same.

The proceedings are available worldwide through Amazon.
