Logic, Language and Reality is a collection of Sanskritic scholarship that will be more accessible to the Indologis… ….Matilal reconstructs arguments and position with special reference to modern analytical philosophy… Each chapter contains many suggestions about how Indian theories can be applied to contemporary problems… In fact, part of the intellectual thrill of reading the book is the endless possibilities for philosophical research that it offers. The book is an outstanding achievement and a valuable contribution to understanding the differences between philosophical traditions. Professor Matilal is one of the few individuals who is as well-suited to this task as he is. His efforts will be rewarded by the Western philosophical community or those who have been trained in that tradition to read and discuss the book. They will, I am sure, find it rewarding to read this book of outstanding scholarship and philosophical sensibility. It is also marked by clarity and directness of writing. –Pranab K. Sen, Journal of Asian Studies Vol. 46, No. 1.
Both the conjuring phrase ‘Indian philosophy,’ and the word ‘philosophy,’ have been used to describe different activities and endeavors, old and new. The author chose to study a dominant trend in classical (Sanskrit), philosophical literature for this book. Because the material is old, both philosophical amplification and philological scholarship are required. The theory of knowledge, nature of inference and language, and related questions ontology or semantics are the main topics of classical pramanasastras. Many important concepts and theories were selected for critical analysis and clarification in modern terms, so that they may be understood by modern students of philosophy and Sanskrit. We hope that this effort will rekindle the passion of young scholars in this field, and encourage them to continue in this relatively new area of research and explore further interesting possibilities.
