The Aphorisms of the Nyaya Philosophy is a book written by Gautama, a philosopher who lived in ancient India. The book is a collection of aphorisms, or short statements, that explain the principles and teachings of the Nyaya philosophy. The Nyaya philosophy is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, and it is concerned with logic, reasoning, and epistemology. The book is divided into five chapters, each of which deals with a different aspect of the Nyaya philosophy. The first chapter discusses the means of knowledge, or how we come to know things. The second chapter deals with the objects of knowledge, or what we can know. The third chapter explains the nature of inference, or how we can draw conclusions from what we know. The fourth chapter discusses the nature of verbal testimony, or how we can trust what others tell us. The final chapter deals with doubts and errors, or how we can avoid mistakes in our thinking.Throughout the book, Gautama presents a systematic and logical approach to understanding the world and our place in it. He uses examples and analogies to explain complex concepts and encourages his readers to think critically and question their assumptions. Overall, The Aphorisms of the Nyaya Philosophy is a foundational text in the study of Indian philosophy and provides valuable insights into the nature of knowledge, reasoning, and truth.With Illustrative Extracts From The Commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
