Response to Nikhil Govind – What is a knowledge system?

Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: The editorial by Nikhil Govind in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics is disturbing because of its epistemological connotations [1]. In this rejoinder, I will not address the merits or demerits of indigenous traditions in medicine, or homeopathy (which, though not an indigenous tradition is part of what is infelicitously called AYUSH - Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy). What I am concerned with here are the questions of knowledge, the scientific method, and its connotations.
