General definition (in Hinduism)
The Nyāyavārttika (6th century CE) by Udyotakara is a Sanskrit treatise of the Nyāya school of philosophy. It was written to defend Vātsāyana (author of the Nyāyabhāṣya) against the attacks made by Dignāga. Nyāya (“method”) is one of the six orthodox schools of Hinduism who accept the authority of the Vedas, primarily dealing with logic, methodology and metaphysics.
