Calls to counter science scepticism are irrelevant in India

摘要

In the wake of Harry Collins's Essay 'We cannot live by scepticism alone' (Nature 458, 30-31; 2009) and the Correspondence it stimulated from several Western scholars (Nature 458,702-703; 2009), I think it is also important to consider an Eastern viewpoint. Because of the notably different social set-up in India, Collins's call for studies to counter scepticism about science is irrelevant in this part of the world.
