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.
With extensive research and creative interpretations, Dasan's Noneo
gogeum ju (Old and New Commentaries of the Analects) has been
evaluated in the academia of Korean Studies as a crystallization of
his studies on the Confucian classics. Dasan (Jeong Yak-yong:
1762-1836) attempted through this book to synthesize and overcome
the lengthy scholarly tradition of the classical studies of the
Analects, leading it not only to represent one of the greatest
achievements of Korean Confucianism but also demonstrate an
innovative prospect for the progress of Confucian philosophy,
positioning it as one of the ground-breaking works in all Confucian
legacies in East Asia. Originally consisting of forty volumes in
traditional book binding, his Noneo gogeum ju contains one hundred
and seventy-five new interpretations on the Analects, hundreds of
"arguments" about the neo-Confucian commentaries, hundreds of
references to the scholarly works of the Analects, thousands of
supportive quotations from various East Asian classics for the
author's arguments, and hundreds of philological discussions. This
book is an English translation of Noneo gogeum ju with the
translator's comments on the innovative ideas and interpretations
of Dasan on the Analects.
