- Indianlogic in the early schools: a study of the Nyāyadarśana in its relation to the earlylogic of other schools.H. N. Randle -1930 - New Delhi: Oriental Books Reprint Corp. : distributed by Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers.Description: AncientIndianlogic by itself is a very vast subject. The ancient Sanskrit term nyaya which was first used in a different or in a much more general sense, was later specifically applied to the Nyaya school. The physics and physiology and psychology of the Nyaya doctrine are not specifically its own, being from the first indistinguishable from those of its sister Sastra, the Vaisesika. What characterizes it specifically is the development of the nyaya or five-membered method (...) of demonstration and its insistence on the four sources of knowledge, corresponding to the first four members of its demonstrative formula, or 'Syllogism.' The importance of Nyaya is in its doctrine of the pramanas, or sources of proof, and in its formulation of the nyaya, or method of demonstration.IndianLogic in its Early Schools by H.N. Randle is an interpretation ofIndian logical theory in its historical development based on the study of original texts wherever reference to Nyaya as a method oflogic has been made, and thus, covers a very wide field ofIndian philosophy. An indispensable work for students ofIndian philosophy, it is especially important for those who are interested in Nyayadarsana in its relation to the earlylogic of other schools. (shrink)
- Indianlogic.Richmond H. Thomason -2009 - In Leila Haaparanta,The development of modern logic. New York: Oxford University Press.This chapter begins with a discussion ofIndian theories of inference. It identifies the unique features ofIndianlogic not found in Westernlogic.Indian theories of inference are primarily theories of adequate evidence, but they may also be viewed as systems of nonmonotonic reasoning, which is being used in modern computer simulation of actual human reasoning processes. The chapter then discusses Nyāyalogic, Buddhistlogic, Jainalogic, and Navya–Nyāyalogic.

Springer. pp. 198-210.B.K.Matilal, and earlier J.F.Staal, have suggested a reading of the `Nyaya five limb schema' (also sometimes referred to as theIndian Schema or Hindu Syllogism) from Gotama's Nyaya-Sutra in terms of a binary occurrence relation. In this paper we provide a rational justification of a version of this reading as Analogical Reasoning within the framework of Polyadic Pure InductiveLogic.
- Isindianlogic nonmonotonic?John A. Taber -2004 -Philosophy East and West 54 (2):143-170.: Claus Oetke, in his "AncientIndianLogic as a Theory of Non-monotonic Reasoning," presents a sweeping new interpretation of the early history ofIndianlogic. His main proposal is thatIndianlogic up until Dharmakirti was nonmonotonic in character-similar to some of the newer logics that have been explored in the field of Artificial Intelligence, such as defaultlogic, which abandon deductive validity as a requirement for formally acceptable arguments; Dharmakirti, he suggests, (...) was the first to consider that a good argument should be one for which it is not possible for the property identified as the "reason" (hetu) to occur without the property to be proved (sadhya)-a requirement akin to deductive validity. Oetke's approach is challenged here, arguing that from the very beginning in India something like monotonic, that is, deductively valid, reasoning was the ideal or norm, but that the conception of that ideal was continually refined, in that the criteria for determining when it is realized were progressively sharpened.

- Is There Anything LikeIndianLogic? Anumāna, ‘Inference’ and Inference in the Critique of Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa.Piotr Balcerowicz -2019 -Journal of Indian Philosophy 47 (5):917-946.The paper presents an analysis of the anumāna chapter of Jayarāśi’s Tattvôpaplava-siṁha and the nature of his criticism levelled against the anumāna model. The results of the analysis force us to revise our understanding of Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa as a sceptic. Instead, he emerges as a highly critical philosopher. In addition, the nature of Jayarāśi’s criticism of the anumāna model allow us to conclude that anumāna should not be equated with inference, but rather is its limited subset, and may at best (...) be rendered as ‘disputational inference’, ‘debational inference’ or even ‘dialogical inference’. Jayarāśi applies a range of logical laws which clearly represent patterns of what can be classified as a priori reasoning and analytical justifications for knowledge, which were traditionally not reckoned sound. Against the backdrop of Jayarāśi’s criticism of anumāna, the paper also attempts to provide an explanation to whyIndian philosophy andlogic did not develop any concept of proper symbols and variables.

- On the Origin ofIndianLogic from the Viewpoint of the Pāli Canon.Andrew Schumann -2019 -Logica Universalis 13 (3):347-393.In this paper, I show that in the Pāli Canon there was a tradition of Buddhistlogic, but this tradition was weak, and the proto-logic we can reconstruct on the basis of the early Pāli texts can be evaluated as a predecessor of the Hindulogic. According to the textual analysis of the Pāli texts, we can claim that at the time of the closing of the Pāli Canon there did not exist the Nyāya philosophy known by (...) the Nyāya Sūtra. Meanwhile, we can assume that the Milindapañha, the best logical source of early Pāli literature, was written under influences of the Gandhāran Buddhists and this text preceded the Nyāya philosophy.

- Universals: studies inIndianlogic and linguistics.Frits Staal -1988 - Chicago: University of Chicago Press.This collection of articles and review essays, including many hard to find pieces, comprises the most important and fundamental studies ofIndianlogic and linguistics ever undertaken. Frits Staal is concerned with four basic questions: Are there universals oflogic that transcend culture and time? Are there universals of language and linguistics? What is the nature ofIndianlogic? And what is the nature ofIndian linguistics? By addressing these questions, Staal demonstrates that, contrary (...) to the general assumption among Western philosophers, the classical philosophers of India were rationalists, attentive to arguments. They were in this respect unlike contemporary Western thinkers inspired by existentialism or hermeneutics, and like the ancient Chinese, Greeks, and many medieval European schoolmen, only--as Staal says--more so. Universals establishes that Asia's contributions are not only compatible with what has been produced in the West, but a necessary ingredient and an essential component of any future human science.

- Possible Ideas of Necessity inIndianLogic.Sundar Sarukkai -2011 -Journal of Philosophical Logic 40 (5):563-582.It is often remarked thatIndianlogic (IL) has no conception of necessity. But what kind of necessity is absent in this system? Logical necessity is presumably absent: the structure of the logical argument in IL is often given as a reason for this claim. However even a cursory understanding of IL illustrates an abiding attempt to formulate the idea of necessity. In Dharmakīrti's classification of inferences, one can detect the formal process of entailment in the inferences arising (...) from class inclusion. In Western philosophy, Leibniz's invocation of 'contingent necessity' as distinguished from the 'necessary necessity' is part of a tradition that finds value in the idea of contingent necessity. In contemporary philosophy, this has been championed by Armstrong, specifically in the context of understanding the necessity inherent in scientific laws. In IL, the analysis of 'invariable concomitance' (vyāpti) is of crucial importance and its definitions are very complex. This paper argues how vyāpti can be understood in terms of contingent necessity and also how the complex definitions can be interpreted as an attempt to define contingent necessity in terms of 'logical' necessity.

- The hindu syllogism: Nineteenth-century perceptions ofindian logical thought.Jonardon Ganeri -1996 -Philosophy East and West 46 (1):1-16.Following H. T. Colebrooke's 1824 'discovery' of the Hindu syllogism, his term for the five-step inference schema in the "Nyāya-sūtra," European logicians and historians of philosophy demonstrated considerable interest inIndian logical thought. This is in marked contrast with later historians of philosophy, and also withIndian nationalist and neo-Hindu thinkers like Vivekananda and Radhakrishnan, who downgradedIndian rationalist traditions in favor of 'spiritualist' or 'speculative' texts. This article traces the role of these later thinkers in the (...) origins of the myth thatIndian thought is spiritual and arational. The extent to which nineteenth-century European philosophers were aware of Colebrooke's 'discovery' is documented, and then their criticisms of the Hindu syllogism and its defense by orientalists like Ballantyne and Müller are examined.

- A Modern Introduction toIndianLogic. [REVIEW]J. K. -1966 -Review of Metaphysics 20 (2):361-361.This is a treatise onLogic according to the Nyaya system ofIndian philosophy. But throughout, care is taken to compare the Nyaya positions with modernLogic. Starting with knowledge and language the author discusses the metaphysical basis ofLogic itself and then gets down to the details of propositions, truth functions, definition, negation, and universals. Various modes of inference and induction are also dealt with. The book shows how, in spite of all the changes in (...) human thought down the centuries, the basic problems remain the same for the ancient Nyaya and modern SymbolicLogic.—J. K. (shrink)
- AnotherLogic is known”: Benedetto Croce's assessment of “IndianLogic.Lorenzo Leonardo Pizzichemi -2024 -Metaphilosophy 55 (3):338-350.This essay aims to shed new light on the theoretical pertinence of classicalIndianlogic and epistemology in Benedetto Croce's criticism of Western Aristotelian and modernlogic. As a matter of fact, Croce gave a positive and extraordinarily enterprising evaluation of “IndianLogic” in his review of Hermann Jacobi's Indische Logik (1905) and in his bookLogic as the Science of the Pure Concept (1996 [1909]). Yet Croce's significant and considerable evaluation of “Indian (...)Logic” has remained neglected until today. This essay tries to clear the field of some prejudices that misled scholarly research on Croce andIndian philosophy, and it glosses in detail the “neglected” judgment on “IndianLogic” in Croce'sLogic. In doing so, it critically discusses some epistemological questions starting from Croce's philosophy, such as the character of “natural induction,” the relationship between language and thought, and the connection between historical languages and logical forms.

- A System ofIndianLogic: The Nyāya Theory of Inference—Analysis, Text, Translation and Interpretation of the Anumāna Section of Kārikāvalī, Muktāvali and Dinakarī.John Vattanky -2003 - New York, NY, USA: Routledge.Nyana is the most rational and logical of all the classicalIndian philosophical systems. In the study of Nyana philosophy, Karikavali with its commentary Muktavali, both by Visvanatha Nyayapancanana, with the commentaries Dinakari and Ramarudri, have been of decisive significance for the last few centuries as advanced introductions to this subject. The present work concentrates on inference in Karikavali, Muktavali and Dinakari, carefully divided into significant units according to the subject, and translates and interprets them. Its commentary makes use (...) of the primary interpretation in Sanskrit contained especially in the Ramarudri and Subodhini. The book begins with the Sanskrit texts of Karikavali and Muktavali; followed by English translation of these texts. Next is given the Sanskrit text of Dinakari which comments on the first two texts, followed by its English translation. Lastly, the book contains a commentary on all the texts included. (shrink)

- Philosophy ofIndianLogic from a Comparative Perspective.John Vattanky -2007 -The Proceedings of the Twenty-First World Congress of Philosophy 7:179-183.One of the classical systems ofIndian Philosophy is specially concerned with the problems oflogic c This system is called Nyaya which has a long history of about two thousand years. In the extent of the literature it has produced and in the depth of the philosophical problems it discusses, it is of considerable interest and importance. However, the spirit of pure rationality in which Nyaya discusses these problems and the techniques it makes use of in handling (...) them are quite different from other systems ofIndian thought and at once renders it a unique achievement of theIndian mind. The term Nyaya means the method of coming to a conclusion with certainty and the system ofIndian philosophy in which philosophical problems are discussed according to this method came to be called Nyayadarsana or just Nyaya. Nyaya has been sedulously cultivated in restricted circles of traditional learning. Nyaya and in particular, Navyanyaya studies with unparalleled rigour and exactitude the nature, the dimensions and conditions of human knowledge. And by common consent the philosophical problem par excellence is the problem of knowledge. With rare insight, both the old and modern Nyaya analyse the problems connected with human knowledge and sets forth in detail the exact conditions in which valid knowledge is possible. This essay highlights the nature and scope of Nyayalogic comparing and contrasting it with other systems oflogic especially the Buddhist and Aristotelian. (shrink)
