Epistemology in Classical India: The Knowledge Sources of the Nyaya School

Autor Stephen H Phillips
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iul 2014
In this book, Phillips gives an overview of the contribution of Nyaya--the classical Indian school that defends an externalist position about knowledge as well as an internalist position about justification. Nyaya literature extends almost two thousand years and comprises hundreds of texts, and in this book, Phillips presents a useful overview of the under-studied system of thought. For the philosopher rather than the scholar of Sanskrit, the book makes a whole range of Nyaya positions and arguments accessible to students of epistemology who are unfamiliar with classical Indian systems.

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.
