Nyāya Darśana: The Science of Logic in Indian Philosophy

Описание: In this video, we explore Nyāya Darśana, one of the six orthodox (Āstika) schools of Indian philosophy, founded by Akṣapāda Gautama. Known as the school of logic and reasoning, Nyāya offers a systematic method for acquiring true knowledge and eliminating ignorance—the root cause of human suffering.
What you’ll learn in this lecture:
• What Nyāya Darśana is and why it is called the science of logic
• The four Pramāṇas (means of valid knowledge):
Perception (Pratyakṣa), Inference (Anumāna), Comparison (Upamāna), and Verbal Testimony (Śabda)
• The theory of inference and the famous five-step syllogism (Pañcāvayava Nyāya)
• Key concepts such as Prameya, Padārtha, Hetvābhāsa (fallacies), and debate methods
• Nyāya views on Ātman (self), Īśvara (God), karma, rebirth, and liberation (Apavarga)
• Differences between Nyāya and other Indian philosophies like Sāṅkhya, Yoga, Vedānta, and Buddhism
• Relevance of Nyāya logic in modern science, law, critical thinking, and daily life
📚 Why Nyāya Darśana matters today
In an age of misinformation and emotional arguments, Nyāya teaches us how to think correctly, test claims with evidence, identify logical fallacies, and arrive at rational conclusions. Its influence can be seen in modern logic, epistemology, legal reasoning, and scientific methodology.
