In Hinduism
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categoriesSavikalpaka (सविकल्पक, “determinate”) refers to one of the two types of pratyakṣa (perception), according to Annaṃbhaṭṭa and Keśava Miśra (Tarkabhāṣā). Savikalpaka-pratyakṣa is that in which the cognition of an object is qualified by certain attributes like name, genus, quality etc. According to Annaṃbhaṭṭa, attributive knowledge is called Savikalpaka (determinate) pratyakṣa. In Dīpikā he says that the knowledge which comprehends the relation of qualified and qualifier such as name, class etc. are known as savikalpaka. Apprehensions like, ‘He is a Dittha’; ‘He is a Brāhmaṇa’;‘He is black’; ‘He is a cook’ etc. are the examples of savikalpaka-pratyakṣa. These are the illustrations of knowledge qualified by saṃjñā (name), jāti (class), guṇa (quality) and kriyā (action) respectively.
According to these philosophers, nirvikalpaka is an actual knowledge but beyond sense perception (atīndriya). In reality the contents of the savikalpaka and the nirvikalpaka are the same. But the difference is that while in the savikalpaka the object and its attributes stand in the subject-predicate relation, in the latter, no such relation is accepted.
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.
