    Internalization of Speech: Pronunciation and Perception of the Word.Akane Saito - 2017 - Journal of World Philosophies 2 (1):109-120.
    There are various philosophers who have discussed the role of language in ancient India. Among them, Bhart ṛ hari considered the relation between the superficial appearance of speech and its essential nature. In actual life, we pronounce and perceive the word. He held that there must be some link between ideal logic and worldly truth. His focus in the Brahmakā n ̣ ḍ a of the Vākyapadīya, is on the process of communication, the process of the internalization of speech. He (...)

    Mīmāṃsāsūtra 6.5.54 on bādha in Maṇḍanamiśra’s Brahmasiddhi.Akane Saito - 2020 - Journal of Indian Philosophy 48 (5):915-944.

    The Proof of Bindu as the Source of Determinate Knowledge. Ratnatrayaparīkṣā 45–70ab with a Critical Edition of an Unpublished Anonymous Commentary. [REVIEW]Akane Saito & Francesco Sferra - 2024 - Journal of Indian Philosophy 52 (5):579-637.
    The paper covers a topic that sits between theology and philosophy of language and is based on completely unpublished material. The bulk of the paper consists in the critical edition and annotated translation of a section of an unpublished and anonymous commentary on the _Ratnatrayaparīkṣā_ by Śrīkaṇṭha. This section describes the transition of the indeterminate knowledge to the determined one according to the early Śaiva Siddhānta perspective. The introduction contains parts that are more “philological” or “historical” and others that are (...)
