In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Parārthānumāna (परार्थानुमान, “syllogism”) or simply Parārtha refers to “inference intended for another” and represents one of the two divisions of anumāna (inference), according to Annaṃbhaṭṭa’s Tarkasaṃgraha. Anumāna is the second of the four “means of valid knowledge” (pramāṇa), which in turn is classified as the first of the sixteen padārthas (“categories”). Etymologically svārtha means [inference] which is intended for oneself and parārtha is that [inference] which is for another.
Parārtha-anumāna consists of five members. These are:
- pratijñā,
- hetu,
- udāharaṇa,
- upanaya,
- nigamana.
It depends upon svārthānumāna because one man cannot satisfy another if he is not satisfied himself. Parārthānumāna is that where by means of five members syllogism something is established which has been already inferred by oneself.
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.
