Description:
The book as it now appears does three things. First, it provides a new interpretation of Harvard philosopher Quine's 'Indeterminacy of Translation', which had thrown doubt on the possibility of communication between civilizations. Second, the book demonstrates that Indian 'pandits' discovered the same universals that were discovered in the West. And third, it argues that the Western humanities and the social sciences will have to learn from Asia before they can be of assistance in paving the way to the common future of man.
