Being deployed both in the everyday (laukika) and the scriptural equally, calculations are used everywhere. Mathematics is highly regarded in all the variety of arts and sciences (kalā), such as the science of erotics, in political science, in musicology, in dramaturgy, in the science of cooking, in medicine, and in disciplines such as architecture. Likewise, it is used in metrics, poetics and poetry, and disciplines such as logical reasoning and grammar.

Looking at this list here, I wonder what is non-science in this context?
08:54:09 From Dr. Vidhya Shanker, unceded Dakota homelands To Everyone:
It has been said that certain things are not art, though (speaking as an art historian and fine artist)
09:02:22 From Dr. Vidhya Shanker, unceded Dakota homelands To Everyone:
Also: “evidence” is (mis)used in law, medicine, and social/ behavioral science, etc. but not necessarily the arts

The Greeks are certainly barbarians. This science (śāstra) is perfectly established among them. They are even praised as sages. How much more so are those Brahmins who understand fate

09:16:04 From Dominik Wujastyk To Everyone:
The discussion begins with Vāmaka, king of Kāśī, framing the ques-
tion as to whether man and disease have the same source. Punarvasu
urges the sages who are present to answer the king.
Pārīkṣi Maudgalya first answers that man and his diseases are both
the product of self, because the self is the cause (kāraṇaṃ hi saḥ),
since he is the ultimate consumer of experience.
Śaralomā disagrees. The self, hating pain, would not willing inflict
painful diseases upon himself. Rather, for Śaralomā, man’s body and
its diseases originate in the mind (manas), subject as it is to agitation
and dullness (rajas and tamas).

Unfortunately, I have to leave early. Thanks, everyone—I hope to join again.
09:35:17 From Tulika Singh To Everyone:
Relating to Lisa's point of different perspectives within a text, I am thinking of Varāhamihira's largely scientific standpoint in the Bṛhatsaṃhitā and his discussion on the marks of men and women in two chapters of his book. How do we make sense of what appears as primarily social views of the body. Ken Zysk has made this point in his Indian System of Marks that it is unclear why Varāhamihira had added these chapters, but does this description give us an idea of social science of the body?
