Self Society and Science Theoretical and Historical Perspectives is one of a set of four volumes purported to broach the basic themes of the subject Consciousness Science Society Value and Yoga (CONSSAVY). This sub project is a part and extension of the ongoing Project of History of Indian Science Philosophy and Culture [PHISPC]. Science has been described both as abstract and concrete. Mathematical language constructive orientation and the invisible universality of scientific laws make it abstract. But when its dependence on human experience and practice is recalled science is felt to be concrete and close to common sense. Science is social in a double sense. No individual in his isolation can create science. He is influenced by the views of others predecessors and contemporaries and scientific truth claims need to be attested at least in principle by all. Sociology of science is a valid form of knowledge. Without peer endorsement and acceptance no new scientific theory is recognized as truly scientific. Of course the validation of science is a more comprehensive affair than the mere sociological approval of it. In science diverse information about the world are sought to be systematized in terms of laws.
