This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume offers an innovative exploration of Western social and religious thought and bridges the expression of a regional imagination with several planetary conversations.

It thus offers new horizons in the Western World and India by connecting Plato's Cratylus to the works of Saussure, Wittgenstein, Barthes, Derrida, Levinas, as well as to Panini, Aurobindo, Ranjan Dass, Giri, and the Gita. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, linguistics, and religion. 418 pp. Englisch.
