Descriere
This book shows the contemporary relevance of a centuries-old Indian epistemological tradition called Nyaya, which finds all knowledge to be generated by a knowledge source: perception, inference, analogy, and/or testimony. The school's delineation of conditions governing the operation of each source along with its overall theory of epistemic justification is reconstructed and defended in broad outline.
