The late Prof. M. Hiriyanna, the great author of Outlines of Indian Philosophy and other works, reporting on Dr. Y. J. Padmarajiah's earlier research work (of considerable size and produced for the Master of Arts Degree in 66 ...I Philosophy) on The Concept of Time, observed: think the thesis is very good. It is comprehensive, and gives an excellent conspectus of the theories of time held in the West, not excluding the difficult one of Einstein. But the thesis is not a bare account of these theories. It is also critical and comparative. The thesis is written throughout in a simple and lucid style, and it shows that the candidate has studied the subject with care and understanding."
OPINIONS
Dr. Padmarajiah extended his investigation of the above subject (The Concept of Time), in some measure, into the field of Indian Philosophy (vide his paper on "The Theory of Time in Jainism" to the Indian Philosophical Congress, 1945, published subsequently in the Journal of the Mysore University, Sec. A, 1947).
