This volume explores key milestones in Rohit Jivanlal Parikh’s scholarly journey, marking his shift from formal to natural languages and his engagement with Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language. It celebrates Parikh's significant contributions across various fields, including logic, computer science, and game theory, showcasing his role as a thought leader who has opened new research avenues. As part of Springer’s Outstanding Contributions to Logic series, the book honors Parikh's intellectual legacy. His work spans recursive function theory, proof theory, non-standard analysis, modal and dynamic logics, semantics of programs, logics of knowledge, belief revision in artificial intelligence, and the formal analysis of social procedures in game theory, all interwoven with philosophical insights. Rather than being a collection of thematically linked articles, the papers included are inspired by Parikh’s ideas, enriching the concept of “Parikh-land.” The book offers an overview of this intellectual landscape, akin to a brochure, followed by an “introductory video” that immerses readers in the experiences and insights gained from engaging with Parikh's work.
