This introduction brings to life the main themes in Indian philosophy of language by using an accessible translation of an Indian classical text to provide an entry into the world of Indian linguistic theories.
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.
