In his letter to B. K. Matilal, dated February 20, 1977, the author
of this book wrote about his work on Advaita-Vedanta: " ... It was
not to present Advaita in the light of current problems of the
logic of scientific discovery and modern philosophy of language ...
but just the contrary. I do not believe that any 'logic without
metaphysics' or 'philosophy of language without thinking' is
possible." This passage alone may serve as the clue to Zilberman's
understanding and mode of explaining that specific and highly
original approach to (not 'of' ) philosophy that he himself
nicknamed modal. Four points would seem to me to be most essential
here. First, a philosophy cannot have 'anything un-thinking' as its
object of investigation. Language, to Zilberman, is not a
phenomenon of con sciousness but a spontaneously working natural
mechanism (like, for instance, 'mind' to some Buddhist
philosophers). It may, of course, be come used for and by
consciousness; consciousness may see itself, so to speak, in
language, but only secondarily, only as in one of its modifica
tions, derivations or modalities. That is why to Zilberman
linguistic- as to Kant psychology - cannot and must not figure as
the primary ground for any philosophical investigation."
