UNE PHILOSOPHIE DE LA PAROLE 2 TEILE - HUGO DAV...

This book by Hugo David investigates the beginnings  in the 10th century CE  of an autonomous
reflection on language in the non-dualist trend of Brahmanical exegesis (Advaita-Vedanta)
inaugurated in the 8th century by Sankara. Its starting point is a detailed study of the most
ancient text exclusively devoted to linguistic issues belonging to that tradition  which is
translated here for the first time in a western language  and of its only known Sanskrit
commentary. On this basis  an attempt is made to understand why Prakasatman  one of the most
illustrious non-dualist thinkers  engaged in an entirely new reflection on language  unknown to
his predecessors. This approach  centred on hermeneutics rather than doctrine  allows one to
understand how philosophy of language came to occupy a prominent position in late Advaita  as
the cornerstone of a system  where being  however immediate  presents itself through the medium
of Sacred speech.
