Description:
This book offers a modern reinterpretation of Bhartrihari’s Vakyapadiya, placing it in a post-Fregean perspective on the Philosophy of Language. Bhartrihari, a fifth-century scholar, made groundbreaking contributions to linguistic philosophy, differentiating between the "knowable" and the "sayable", "what is said" and "what is meant", and the semantics of everyday speech versus literary discourse.
For the first time, Bhartrihari’s insights are explored as a philosopher rather than just a grammarian, comparing his ideas with those of Frege, Wittgenstein, Grice, Austin, Davidson, Searle, and Strawson. The book also presents a lucid exposition of the Sphota Theory, highlighting Indian contributions to linguistics, logic, and aesthetics.
A valuable resource for philosophers, linguists, and scholars of Sanskrit and Indian philosophy, this book bridges the gap between ancient Indian thought and modern Western philosophy.
