The Navya-Nyaya theory of Paksata (Study)

by Kazuhiko Yamamoto | 1991 | 35,898 words

Summary: This essay studies the Navya-Nyaya theory of Paksata within Indian logic by exploring the Paksataprakarana on the Tattvacintamani of Gangesa Upadhyaya and the Didhiti of Raghunata Siromani. The term “paksa” originally meant a subject or proposition but evolved to signify a key logical term, representing the subject of an inference or the locus of inference. This study carefully examines the historical and philosophical evolution of paksata, drawing from the works of influential philosophers like Gangesa Upadhyaya and Raghunatha Siromani
