It would be a bulky and intricate volume indeed that treated
adequately of the problem of two truths in Buddhism and Vedanta:
the present volume is slim and unpretentious. Not the less
incisive, for that, it is hoped, but certainly neither systematic
nor complete, and this in several senses. Not all schools of
Buddhism are dealt with: Theravada, Indian Y ogacara, and the
Logicians are missing among the Indian schools and there is no
refer ence to Chinese and Japanese Buddhism. The Vedanta discussed
is only Advaita (non-dualist), and that virtually limited to
Sankara. Nor does the volume as a whole take up the problem of two
truths thematically, though each paper raises the philosophical
questions its author.thinks appropriate. The title 'The Problem of
Two Truths in Buddhism and Vedanta' prom ises more than the book
itself contains. The reason for this is given in the prefatory
'Note' each chapter is a paper read and discussed at a working
conference. All the papers from the conference are here published,
and no others. The book has thus the contours dictated by the
availability of scholars at the time of the conference."
Reissue of Encyclopedia of Physics / Handbuch der Physik, Volume
VIa The mechanical response of solids was first reduced to an
organized science of fairly general scope in the nineteenth
century. The theory of small elastic deformations is in the main
the creation of CAUCHY, who, correcting and simplifying the work of
NAVIER and POISSON, through an astounding application of conjoined
scholarship, originality, and labor greatly extended in breadth the
shallowest aspects of the treatments of par ticular kinds of bodies
by GALILEO, LEIBNIZ, JAMES BERNOULLI, PARENT, DANIEL BER NOULLI,
EULER, and COULOMB. Linear elasticity became a branch of
mathematics, culti vated wherever there were mathematicians. The
magisterial treatise of LOVE in its second edition, 1906 - clear,
compact, exhaustive, and learned - stands as the summary l of the
classical theory. It is one of the great "gaslight works" that in
BOCHNER'S words "either do not have any adequate successor[ s] . .
. or, at least, refuse to be super seded . . . ; and so they have
to be reprinted, in ever increasing numbers, for active research
and reference", as long as State and Society shall permit men to
learn mathe matics by, for, and of men's minds. Abundant
experimentation on solids was done during the same century. Usually
the materials arising in nature, with which experiment most justly
concerns itself, do not stoop easily to the limitations classical
elasticity posits.
