Details:
First published in 2001, Volume 2 of this series focuses on Logic and Philosophy of Language within the study of Indian philosophy. This volume is concerned with aspects of Indian pramāṇa theory that Western philosophers categorize as logic and philosophy of language.
Indian philosophers and linguists extensively debated philosophical issues related to language, especially theories of meaning. Indian logicians created a formalized canonical inference schema and a theory of fallacies. The deductive nature of Indian logic is complemented by inductively derived premises.
The later Navya-Nyāya logicians introduced a sophisticated technical language, including an intentional logic of cognitions, which became the foundation for all serious discourse in India. This volume discusses Indian treatments of topics like the nature of inference, negation, necessity, counterfactual reasoning, many-valued logics, theory of meaning, reference, existence, compositionality, and the sense-reference distinction.
