Kaun\u0026amp;ddotu;abhatta belonged to the tradition of  Sanskrit grammar and in this work he consolidated the philosophy of  language developed in the Paninian tradition of Sanskrit  grammar. Kaun\u0026amp;ddotu;abhatta's work takes account of  the philosophical debate which occurred in classical and medieval  India among the philosophers and grammarians from about 500 B.C. to  the 17th century A.D. Kaun\u0026amp;ddotu;abhatta's work  primarily represents this debate between the traditions of Sanskrit  grammar, Mi\u0026amp;mdotu;amsa, and  Nyaya-Vaisesika. It discusses ontological,  epistemological, and exegetical issues concerning the notion of  meaning as it relates to the various components of language. The  present book is a heavily annotated translation of the  \u003cem\u003eNamartha-nirnaya\u003c\/em\u003e section of  Kaun\u0026amp;ddotu;abhatta's  \u003cem\u003eVaiyakarana-bhusana\u003c\/em\u003e, with an  extensive introduction. While there are several books that discuss  Indian semantic theories in general terms, this book belongs to a  small class of intensive, focused studies of densely written  philosophical texts which examines each argument in its historical and  philosophical context. It is of interest to all students of philosophy  of language in general, and to students of Indian philosophy in  particular. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401052214\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2751-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398584168588,"sku":"9789401052214","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401052214.jpg?v=1775010375","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401052214","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
