In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Anumiti (अनुमिति, “inferential knowledge”) refers to one of the four kinds of “right experience” (also known as pramāṇas), according to Annaṃbhaṭṭa’s Tarkasaṃgraha.—Buddhi or knowledge is of two kinds–anubhava (experience) and smṛti (recollection). Anubhava or experience may be right or wrong. The right experience is divided into four kinds, viz. perceptual knowledge (pratyakṣa), inferential knowledge (anumiti), comparative knowledge (upamiti) and verbal knowledge (śabda). These are called four pramāṇas which are accepted from the Nyāya system.
Annaṃbhaṭṭa states in his Tarkasaṃgraha that Anumāna (inference) is the instrumental cause of inferential knowledge (anumiti). Anumiti depends upon parāmarśa and it is the resulting judgement. Therefore, anumiti is said to be knowledge which is produced from parāmarśa.
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
