Who this is
“We know almost nothing about the man — a name, a village, a book — yet for five hundred years, every serious philosopher in India, whatever their school, had to write in the technical language he invented.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Every thought has an exact structure, and philosophy can only be done honestly once we have a language precise enough to write that structure down.”
