Nyaya-Vaisesika Basic

SAN6101 – Two distinct systems of classification of world phenomena, i.e. ontologies have emerged from the Vedic thought called Nyaya and Vaisesika. They form the fundamental bedrock for all Indic knowledge traditions.

Originating from the sutras of Gotama and Kanada, these systems developed sound and systematic logic and reasoning and substantially influenced the trajectory of logic and reason and their use within the world of Hindu knowledge systems. The evolution of the Navya-nyaya system and its eventual merger with the Vaisesika system of thought was a later development.

Prerequisites: 

1) The medium of Instruction is Sanskrit

2) Only currently enrolled Sanskrit master’s certificate students can register for these courses. (MIT-SVS)

3) Admission into Master Program in Sanskrit through MIT-SVS

4) Completed previous MA Sanskrit Course
