Bloomsbury - The Collected Writings of Jaysankar Lal Shaw

Explore a comprehensive collection of work from one of the first philosophers to bridge the gap between Indian philosophical thought and Western analytic philosophy. Jaysankar Lal Shaw has spent over 40 years reflecting on analytic themes through the lens of Indian philosophy, and this volume brings his most significant writings together in one place. This book serves as an introduction to his unique methodology, presenting new ways to use Indian classical thought to approach and understand Western philosophy. By expanding, reinterpreting, and reclassifying concepts from Indian philosophers, Shaw applies these traditional views to the main issues and theories found in contemporary philosophy of language and epistemology. Whether you are a student of philosophy or a seasoned academic, this collection provides a deep look into how Indian classical thought can inform modern philosophical debates. It offers a fresh perspective on how to use ancient concepts to address current questions in the field of analytic and Anglophone philosophy.
