In this volume, Jonardon Ganeri examines theories of meaning or artha . He discusses approaches in different schools of thought-Grammarian, M m¢ṃsaka, Buddhist, and early and late Naiy¢yika- highlighting the relationship between linguistic meaning and testimony. Focusing primarily on the Navya-Ny¢ya school, he demonstrates that classical Indian theory of language can inform and be informed by contemporary philosophy.
