Description
This book is a philosophical analysis of ordinary concepts like human action and consciousness, along with an exploration of their representation in language. It examines the philosophical history of the issues that emerge and places the discussion across different paradigms, bringing into contemporary focus problems like intentionality, the relation between mind and body, and the structure of explanations. Reframing some of the problematics within not only Western approaches but also Indian philosophical traditions, this scholarly work looks at the various dimensions of action with a view to analysing the different interpretations as more than mere linguistic tools. It explores concepts that link ‘word’ and ‘world’ together to breach explanatory gaps regarding consciousness, and unifies the debate across linguistic, epistemological, and semantic concerns.
