This book is unusual in many respects. It was written by a prolific
author whose tragic untimely death did not allow to finish this and
many other of his undertakings. It was assembled from numerous
excerpts, notes, and fragments according to his initial plans.
Zilberman's legacy still awaits its true discovery and this book is
a second installment to it after The Birth of Meaning in Hindu
Thought (Kluwer, 1988). Zilberman's treatment of analogy is unique
in its approach, scope, and universality for Western philosophical
thought. Constantly compared to eastern and especially classical
Indian interpretations, analogy is presented by Zilberman as an
important and in many ways primary method of philosophizing or
philosophy-building. Due to its universality, this method can be
also applied in linguistics, logic, social analysis, as well as
historical and anthropological research. These applications are
integral part of Zilberman's book. A prophetic leap to largely
uncharted territories, this book could be of considerable interest
for experts and novices in the field of analogy alike.
