To know the work of Jitendra Nath Mohanty even slightly is to
commence to appreciate it immensely. Lucidity and sagacity have
been its armor; originality and ingenuity have been its strength.
And wearing the former and wielding the latter have become so
persistent a mark of his work as to suggest that their appeal for
Mohanty lies altogether more in the refmed reaches of philosophical
craftsmanship than on the coarse ground of intellectual
partisanship. The multifaceted character of his work in
phenomenology and Indian philosophy has never left us palled by its
significance and, as a consequence, has always left us conceding
its command on our philosophical discourse. It has fulfilled the
most welcomed promise of striking the chords of both imagination
and reason by exposing Husserlian phenomenology to the concerns of
both the so-called "analytical" and "continental" traditions and by
exposing the philosophical tradition of Indian thought to the
intricacies of Husserl. Although charting and periodizing the body
ofMohanty' s work in phenomeno logy may be the function of a memory
inconspicuous for originality and liveli ness, they nonetheless
offer a precis conspicuous for the variety of topics that Mohanty
has both engaged and enriched. Mohanty's career in phenomenology
can be characterized by three phases, each concentrating on
different themes, but with the latter two also epitomizing a more
incisive and deeper discussion of the issues raised in the first."
