Item description from seller

Contents Foreword/D.P. Pattanayak. Preface to the second edition. Preface to the first edition. Abbreviations. 1. Philosophy of language its scope and limits. 2. Sabdadvaitavada the metaphysics of language. 3. The Sphota theory of language. 4. The word and the meaning. 5. Language and communication. 6. Thought and language. 7. The word and the world. 8. Word meaning and sentence meaning. 9. The knowable and the Sayable. Appendix. Glossary of Sanskrit terms. Select bibliography. Index. It is the first ever study of the fifth century scholar Bhartrhari's Vakyapadiya in an altogether modern the post Fregean perspective on the philosophy of language. A uniquely original thinker in India's splendid grammarians tradition Bhartrhari overreached the limits of language analysis set by his predecessors like Panini and Patanjali constructing as he did a brilliant philosophy of language that sought to spell out among other aspects the subtle distinctions between the knowable and the sayable between what is said and what is meant between the semantics of everyday speech and literary discourse. Sadly Bhartrhari has through the centuries suffered neglect largely because the Grammarian school never figured in the six major systems of traditional Indian philosophy. For the first time this monograph tries to reinterpret Bhartrhari's position as a philosopher emphasizing the high relevance of his Vakyapadiya to modern Western thought. A reputed scholar of grammar philosophy and Sanskrit studies the author present Bhartrhari's analyses of language methodically unbiasedly. And significantly in contemporary philosophical idiom with contextual focus on the views of modern Western philosophers Frege Wittgenstein Grice Austin Davidson Searle Strawson and the like. Also offered here is a lucid exposition of the Sphota theory. Growing from Dr. Patnaik's a decade long research on Bhartrhari's philosophy the volume highlights not only ancient Indian contribution to the study of language but the interconnectedness among its indigenous approaches to linguistics philosophy logic and aesthetics as well. 228 pp.…
