Description of work:

Research, papers and books aiming to  bring the Upanishads and Vedanta as
well as major features of Buddhist thought into modern Western thought,
including perennial philosophy, universal religion, conception of Atman
as basis for social science research, internal reform of natural science
by the Upanishadic relation to the world; also  nature and spiritual basis
of culture.

I am also teaching courses and publishing in the area in qualitative
rearch methods in the social sciences and currently doing extensive
in-depth interview research on how individuals are interested in and
inspired and fulfilled by mathematics and the natural sciences.
