The essays in this collection were written by an international body of scholars in memory of Professor Bimal K. Matilal. They discuss Vedanta, Nyaya, and Buddhism; thematically they deal with problems of relativism, evil, suffering, emotions, and value judgement.
Contributed articles on Hindu and Buddhist philosophy.
The unifying motif of Bimal Krishna Matilala's work is the study of rational traditions in Indian philosophical thought. The two volumes of his collected works analyse the arguments of the classical Indian philosophers and the role of philosophy in Indian society.
A scholar of eminence in the field of Indian philosophy, Bimal K. Matilal was one of the leading exponents of Indian logic and epistemology.

The last work of the eminent philosopher Bimal Krishna Matilal, this book traces the origins of logical theory in India.
This text is an account of the arguments of Indian philosophers, and literary critics about the origins and nature of language, the theories of meaning and the related problem of universals, and the profundity of sense in a literary composition.
Ten essays of this book, two of which are written in Sanskrit, range from modern logic to classical Indian theories of inference. Classical Indian philosophy comprising Pracina and Navya- Nyaya, Sankhya, Buddhist and Jaina logical and philosophical standpoints are discussed in most modern technical terms of western philosophy, often with the aid of terminologies of modern logic. Similarly, western ideas propounded by the ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle as well as contemporary philosophers such as Frege, Russell, Srawson, Kripke and many others are placed against the backdrop of classical Indian philosophy. The book will be immensely useful to those interested in stimulating meaningful dialogues between philosophical thinkings of India and the West. The book will also be of interest to those who aim at broadening the horizon of logic and philosophy.
Most of the papers presented at a conference held at Oxford in August 1982.
