Philosophy, Logic and Language
This book by Kalidas Bhattacharyya is a collection of essays on different topics. However, the first seven essays and the eleventh one do have a thematic unity. They are in one way or another linked to the questions regarding the nature and method of philosophy – a theme that we find often in the writings of Kalidas Bhattacharyya. Essays 1 to 5 and essay 6 are directly concerned with the role of language and logic in philosophical reflections. He touches upon Logical Positivism and Analytical Philosophy in this regard.
The other key issue that Bhattacharyya considers here is the nature of Self. In particular, Bhattacharyya has been keen on exploring the nature of the self we refer to by the pronoun “I” and its relation to the other selves.
The concept of God also finds its place in two of his essays here. Bhattacharyya also discusses the problem of freedom in almost all the essays, in particular the ones on self. One interesting yet rather divergent topic that is discussed by Bhattacharyya is the idea of the Given and its Appearance. Two essays are on specific philosophers – one on Rabindranath Tagore and another on Basanta Kumar Mallik.
The Essays are:
- Is Philosophy Linguistic Analysis
- The Business of Philosophy
- Language, Logic and Fact
- Objective Attitude and Idealism Proper
- Thought and its Validity
- The Given and its Appearance
- The Nature of Reflection in Metaphysics
- Modern Psychology and Hindu Thought

Āryaśāstra (Brahmavaivarttpuraṇam) Volume- Eleven আর্যশাস্ত্র (ব্রহ্মবৈবর্ত্তপুরাণম)
Brahmavaivarta Purāṇam (vol 1) is one of the well-known purāṇas. The story goes that all the Purāṇam, including Brahmavaivarta Purāṇam is written by Veda Vyāsa. Brahmavaivarta Purāṇam in its entirety contains eighteen thousand verses. It is considered one of the Mahapurāṇas. It is said to be written in the time span (kalpa) of rathantara. Different purāṇas are thought to be identical with different parts of the body of Sri Hari and Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa is imagined to be the left knee of Sri Hari. The resulting idea is that the Purāṇam are manifestations of different parts of the body of Sri Hari signifying the importance of the Purāṇam.
This Purāṇam contains discourses on how Brahman, the ultimate reality, evolves itself into the manifold things and events in the world. It contains many dialogues between different godheads all describing the story of creation in many different ways. The different perspectives of the jnani, bhakta etc have been described in detail.
