Along with a complete translation of this foundational text, Keating also provides:- Clear explanations of themes such as reference, figuration and sentence meaning - Commentary illuminating connections between Mukula and contemporary philosophy- Romanized text of the Sanskrit- A glossary of terms and annotated bibliography- A chronology of important figures and datesBy complementing a historically-informed introduction with a focused study of an influential primary text, Keating responds to the need for a reliable guide to better understand theories of language and related issues in Indian philosophy.
