Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
First published in 1963, this book stands as a bold challenge to the declaration that metaphysics has reached its end. It argues that philosophy, having wandered too long in arid landscape of linguistic analysis, can reclaim its vital purpose by breaking free from its prolonged subservience to science, logic and related disciplines.
MoreLong description:
First published in 1963, Language, Meaning and Persons stands as a bold challenge to the declaration that metaphysics has reached its end. In this thought-provoking and profoundly original work, Professor Banerjee argues that philosophy seems to be ending its nomadic career in the desert of linguistic analysis but can still come into its own if it gives up its all too long subservience to science, logic, and allied disciplines and returns to man himself. Man is a person with other persons and needs to come back to the truth of what he is.
The traditional epistemological categories of imagination, understanding, and reason are analysed in an entirely new and exciting way and shown to be relevant not only to man as a being in search of knowledge, but to men in search of liberation. The author’s treatment of time and the ‘plan for action’ is fresh and will provide pungent pabulum for faded philosophical appetites. Shrewd and pertinent criticisms of contemporary schools of philosophy also lend support to a bold and new construction in metaphysics.
This is a book which brings the human situation right into the forefront of philosophical investigation and which is bound to make an impact on the professional philosopher and general reader alike.
