Vattanky firmly believed that it is only in the absolute that human being is able to explain himself and the Nyaya thinkers do so when they discuss nature, the dimension and the properties of human knowledge. In fact, according to Nyaya a proper self-understanding of human being is not possible without the absolute.

    293-305 Nyāya Theory of Implication And

    Journal of Dharma 30, 3 (July-September 2005), 293-305 NYĀYA THEORY OF IMPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION John Vattanky 1. Introduction It is well known that in contemporary Western philosophy, especially under the influence of Gadamer, Ricoeur, and so on, hermeneutics and allied disciplines are assuming more and more significance. The influence of these hermeneutical theories has gradually been felt also on present day Indian thought. What, however, is not so well known even among Indian philosophers themselves is that India had a long and distinguished history of theories of interpretation. Mimāmsa system, for example, tried to lay down the rules of interpretation in order to arrive at the true meaning of the Vedas.1 The discipline of Grammar, which again had a long history in India, reached its philosophical heights in the path-breaking works of Bharthari.2 Philosophers of Grammar had to struggle with the problem of meaning and in some ways also with the question of interpretation. In the Nyāya system, discussions on the philosophy of language and theories of interpretation were carried on largely in the context of the discussions on śabda (word), as a means of valid verbal knowledge. There is no treatise exclusively on interpretation as such in the modern sense. Yet, on the basis of what the Naiyāyikas have contributed towards a philosophy of language, we can construct a theory of interpretation adequate to meet the philosophical challenges of today. The present essay is an attempt to develop such a Prof. Dr. John Vattanky sj, trained in philosophy at Oxford and Vienna, is a well-known expert in Sanskrit language and Indian Logic.

    Nyiiya System of Philosophy: a Significant Aspect of Indian Culture

    Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, Vol. VI, No. 1, 1999, pp. 101-110 Nyiiya System of Philosophy: A Significant Aspect of Indian Culture JOHN VATIANKY De Nobili College Pune In the last decades interest in Indian philosophy and culture has been steadily growing both in India and outside. In the wake of the discovery of the heritage of India by the great orientalists of the western wdrld, especially from the beginning of this century and after the pioneering works ofRadhakrishnan, Dasgupta and a host of others, various aspects of Indian thought have been studied more and more deeply 'and m eticulously. However, Indian philosophy 'vas pictured predominantly in terms of Vedanta particularly in its advaita form found in Sankara which was and is, perhaps, not entirely correctly interpreted as a monistic system. This went along with a very spiritual interpretation of the wh ole of Indian culture. In fact this is a one-sided presentation of the whole of Indian philosophy, for Indian philosophy includes various systems which command the attention of the scholar as well as the general reader. One such system is the Nyaya. In the extent of the literature it has produced and in the depth of the philosophical problems it discusses, it is of considerable interest and importance. However, the spirit of pure rationality in which Nyiiya discusses these proble ms and the techniques it makes use of in handling them are quite different from oth er systems of Indian thought and at on ce renders it a unique achievement of the Indian mind. Nyiiya has been sedulously cultiyated in restricted circles of traditional learning.

    Department of Systematic Theology University of Helsinki Helsinki Towards a Truly Catholic and a Truly Asian Church: An Asian Wayfaring Theology of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) 1970-2012 Jukka Helle Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Helsinki in Auditorium XII, on the 23rd of May 2018 at 12 o’clock. FABC Ruby Jubilee Prayer (2012) God ever faithful, we praise you for your abiding presence in our pilgrimage in this land of Asia, hallowed by the life and mission of your Son Jesus Christ. We thank you for the mysterious presence of your Spirit in the depth and breadth of the spiritual quest of our people, in their enduring cultures and values, and in the struggles of the poor. We raise our hearts in gratitude for the gift of the Church in Asia, the little flock you tend with provident care in her mission of proclaiming your Gift, Jesus Christ the Giver of Life. Father, we thank you for the Federation of the Asian Bishops’ Conferences, an instrument of communion you have granted us for the past forty years. Your Spirit accompanied us in our common search for the paths of mission in our continent. As we celebrate your blessing, renew your Church in Asia with a fresh outpouring of your Spirit. Make us grow in greater unity; rekindle the fire of your Spirit to be credible bearers of the Good News of Jesus. Empower us as we “go” on the roads of Asia, that in inter-religious dialogue and cultural harmony, in commitment to the poor and the excluded, we may courageously tell the story of Jesus.
