Synopsis
In this monograph Professor B.K.Matilal studies what is today called "philosophy of language" on the basis of materials drawn exclusively from the works of classical Indian philosophers. He provides not simply an exposition, but also an analysis of classical theories, allowing the texts to speak for themselves and avoiding any comparisons with modern theories. The book is divided into two parts: one presents a survey of the general issues and problems; the other selects several special topics for study, such as sphota theory, the word as a unit of a sentence, the problem of translation, and an elaboration of Bhatrhari's view of cognition.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
