In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: INSA Digital Repository: Caraka’s Approach to KnowledgeDebate or Discussion was an important part of Ayurveda, as it promotes the advancement of knowledge, etc. (Cf. Charaka Samhita, Vimana 8.27- 65).—The seamlessness between medicine and philosophy in Charaka Samhita is again evident when his detailed discussion on the logical parameters of debate appears in a chapter on ‘roga-bhisag-jitiyam’ (features of therapeutics). [...] Caraka advised physicians to confine their discussion among professional peers and to Ayurvedic topics. He was a strong advocate of sambhasha (discussion) as it ‘promotes advancement of knowledge, fluent speech; enhances fame; removes doubt; creates confidence, and uncovers new ideas’.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
