The relation between language and mind is a fascinating area in both the western and the Indian philosophical modes of thinking. Indian philosophers of language raise the question How does the hearer derive knowledge from the speaker's utterances. In the process of finding an answer they developed some important insights into language and cognition language generated awareness etc. In many of their formulations the concept of mind is assumed as the background of linguistic activity. This volume throws light on various debates concerning the relation between languages and mind as conceived in the classical Indian tradition. Papers in this volume have been arranged in three groups based on their thematic composition (1) The inadequacy thesis proposed by the Madhyamika School of Buddhism and the Vedantins which suggests that language fails to express certain experiences (2) The identity thesis held by the Grammarians which suggests that language is the reality and (3) The adequacy thesis supported by the Naiyayikas which suggests that whatever exists is capable of being known and whatever is known is capable of being expressed in language. This book is the second of a two volume project dealing with language and mind. The first dealt with the western perspective and the present work deals with the classical Indian perspective. 246 pp.…
