About the Book
The Mimamsa Theory of Meaning provides a critical analysis of the Vakyartha (meaning of a sentence) in the context of the Prabhakara school of Purva-Mimamsa. Drawing from the Vakyarthamatrka of Salikanatha Misra, this book discusses the key factors influencing verbal comprehension, such as Akamksa (expectation), Yogyata (fitness), and Sannidhi (proximity). It presents a comprehensive study of Abhihitanvayavada, the popular theory of verbal comprehension in Prabhakara Mimamsa, and explores essential concepts like Sakti (power), Laksana (indication), Adhyahara (imposition), Vidhi (prescription), Arthavada (commendation), and Bhavana (conception).
The author critically examines the theory of Bhavanavakyartha, highlighting its significance in understanding the Prabhakara Mimamsa's approach to meaning and interpretation. This book also compares the Prabhakara school's views with those of other Indian philosophical systems like Bhatta Mimamsa, Nyaya, Vedanta, and Vyakarana.
Given its focused study of Prabhakara Mimamsa and its philosophical implications on verbal meaning, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars seeking a deeper understanding of Indian philosophy and Mimamsa theory. It will be especially beneficial for those interested in the intricate methods of interpretation in classical Indian philosophy.
