Nyaya: The Indian School of Logic & Epistemology by Manjushree Hegde

#Indianschooloflogic #epistemology #Nyaya #Darshanas #Hinduism Etymologically, nyāyaḥ is argumentation/reasoning. Nyāyaśāstra, therefore, is sustained and systematic reasoning that leads to true knowledge — it provides tools for rigorous, critical-thinking, which, according to Nyāyaśāstra, is a key-component to attain niśreyasa. Nyāyaśāstra, the “science of right reasoning”, is indispensable to an understanding of Indian knowledge systems. In first of a series of talks on "Shad Darshanas: Six Approaches to Reality", Manjushree Hegde takes us through "Nyaya: The Indian School of Logic & Epistemology".
