Description

Buddhist Philosophy of Language in India by Lawrence J. McCrea and Parimal G. Patil is a translation of Jnanasrimitra's Monograph on Exclusion, first published in 2010. This volume presents the work of one of India's most important philosophers of his generation, who explored the nature of words and thought through a unique theory of exclusion. Jnanasrimitra's ideas were debated by Buddhist and Hindu intellectuals for over half a millennium, reflecting competing claims about language, perception, and conceptual awareness. This translation provides an invaluable introduction to Jnanasrimitra's findings, situating them within his larger intellectual context. Lawrence J. McCrea and Parimal G. Patil offer a clear and accessible translation of the Monograph, familiarizing readers with the author, themes, and topics of the text.
