Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies, Volume VI: Indian Philosophical Analysis—Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika from Gaṅgeśa to Raghunātha Śiromaṇi

Indian Philosophical Analysis: Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika from Gaṅgeśa to Raghunātha Śiromaṇi presents the emergence and early development of Navya-Nyāya during a decisive two-hundred-year period in Indian intellectual history. Beginning with Gaṅgeśa’s influential Tattvacintāmaṇi and concluding with the innovative works of Raghunātha Śiromaṇi, the volume demonstrates how Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosophers developed an exact technical language for analysing cognition, inference, meaning, relations, and ontological categories. Its combination of systematic exposition and detailed summaries of primary works makes it an essential reference for studying Indian logic, epistemology, metaphysics, and analytical philosophy.
