Description: This volume delves into the philosophical exploration of the communicability and objectivity of meaning in language. The book begins with the premise that communication through language is indeed possible and investigates whether the objectivity of meaning follows from this communicability. Through a series of articles, the text analyzes the nuances of objectivity in meaning, discussing in what sense meaning can be considered objective, if at all. The volume features insights from both Western and Indian philosophical traditions, with contributions from eminent Western philosophers such as Wittgenstein, Searle, Putnam, Davidson, Quine, and McDowell. Additionally, it closely examines the views of Indian scholars from the Nyaya, Buddhism, and Mimamsa schools of philosophy. This book is an excellent resource for researchers interested in the nature of meaning, especially those exploring the issue of objectivity and the communicability of meaning in language. It is also an ideal read for students of philosophy, linguistics, logic, mathematics, and related fields, providing a clear understanding of the concept of meaning from both Western and Indian perspectives.
