Good question! Theosophy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy) was a religious movement founded by westerners who were thoroughly captivated (but totally confused in hindsight) by Hindu/Buddhist philosophies. An attempt was made to draw parallels between these philosophies and western science by some of their main proponents of which these two people were leading lights and the submitted article points to some of their collaborative work. Of course with our much better understanding of Modern Science and Hindu/Buddhist philosophies today, their work seems silly and outlandish but is of some historical interest.
