Description
Bhartrhari, being both a grammarian and a philosopher, his influence on subsequent grammatical and philosophical thought in India has been enormous; in spite of this, modern scholarship has not yet given him the attention he deserve no doubt because his extant writings are difficult and were not until recently, available in satisfactory editions. Interest among scholars for Bhartrhari is now, however, growing.
This is the reason why an international conference on Bhartrhari was organized in January 1992 in Pune, under the joint auspices of the University of Poona and the University of Lausanne (Switzerland). The present volume contains some of the papers read at this conference as well as an up-to-date bibliography on Bhartrhari.
