About this episode
The discussion on Nyaya School of Indian Philosophy continues. A discussion on the Nyaya Theory of Knowledge is presented.
This is the 14th episode of the series of lessons derived from Satischandra Chatterjee and Dhirendramohan Dutta's "An Introduction to Indian Philosophy". What you would encounter is a reading, commentary and explanation of the text. The series is done primarily catering to Muslim audiences, however it is going to be of great use to anyone interested in Indian Philosophy.
The book (and this series) follows closely with the UPSC syllabus as prescribed for Philosophy Optional Paper 1 and hence can be of great use to any students trying to develop an understanding for the same.
