This shared conviction was responsible for a perceived problem. Different currents in Indian philosophy can be understood as different attempts to solve this problem; these include the satk?ryav?da of the S??khyas, the anek?ntav?da of the Jainas, the ??nyav?da of the Buddhists, and many others. By bringing to light the shared problem underlying almost all schools of Indian philosophy, this book shows the interconnectedness of currents that had hitherto been thought of as quite independent of each other. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 36. 606 $aPhilosophy, Indic$xHistory 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aReference (Philosophy)$xHistory 606 $aReality$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophy, Indic$xHistory. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aReference (Philosophy)$xHistory. 615 0$aReality$xHistory. 676 $a181/.4 700 $aBronkhorst$b Johannes$f1946-$0640095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807153603321 996 $aLanguage and reality$93690170 997 $aUNINA
