Raghunatha Shiromani (Bengali:রঘুনাথ শিরোমণি,IAST: Raghunātha Śiromaṇi) (c. 1477–1547[1]) was an Indianphilosopher andlogician. He was the head ( The Chancellor ) of theAncient Mithila University also known asMithila Vidyapeeth.[2] He was born in abrahmin family atNabadwip in present-dayNadia district ofWest Bengal state. He was the grandson ofŚulapāṇi (c. 14th century CE), a noted writer onSmṛti from his mother's side. He was a pupil ofVāsudeva Sārvabhauma. He brought the new school ofNyaya,Navya Nyāya, representing the final development of Indianformal logic, to its zenith of analytic power.
Raghunatha's analysis of relations revealed the true nature of number, inseparable from the abstraction of natural phenomena, and his studies ofmetaphysics dealt with thenegation ornonexistence of a complexreality. His most famous work in logic was theTattvacintāmaṇidīdhiti, a commentary on theTattvacintāmaṇi ofGangeśa Upādhyāya, founder of theNavya Nyāya school.
