The International Conference World view and theory in Indian philosophy mediates between research on the Indian tradition of thought and other branches of cultural studies. For four days, in Casa Asia, the concept of Indian philosophy will be approached, analysing it to clear what relation it has with the Indian culture and with the ideology and if, really, and the results of the studies of this traditional philosophy can be extrapolated to other areas of knowledge.
