Language, Meaning, and Use in Indian Philosophy
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-06077-7 (ISBN)
Malcolm Keating draws on Mukula’s Fundamentals of the Communicative Function to show the ability of language to convey a wide range of meanings and introduce ideas about testimony, pragmatics, and religious implications. Along with a complete translation of this foundational text, Keating also provides:
- Clear explanations of themes such as reference, figuration and sentence meaning
- Commentary illuminating connections between Mukula and contemporary philosophy
- Romanized text of the Sanskrit
- A glossary of terms and annotated bibliography
- A chronology of important figures and dates
By complementing a historically-informed introduction with a focused study of an influential primary text, Keating responds to the need for a reliable guide to better understand theories of language and related issues in Indian philosophy.
Malcolm Keating is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale-NUS College, Singapore.
