Siddhanta Journal of World Knowledge Systems
Research · Translation · Pedagogy
A bi-annual, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing research, translation and criticism on classical knowledge traditions — their texts, their methods of reasoning, and their place in contemporary education. It exists to hold that material to the ordinary disciplines of scholarship: a clear question, an honest method, and sources cited by edition and verse.
