About the Book
This scholarly work by Dr. Jhumur Mallik explores the epistemological foundations of the Vaiśeṣika system, one of the most important schools of classical Indian philosophy. While Vaiśeṣika is widely known for its theory of categories and atomic doctrine, this book focuses on its distinctive theory of knowledge and its approach to valid and invalid cognition.
The author examines the nature of perception and inference within the Vaiśeṣika framework, highlighting both its similarities to and differences from the closely related Nyāya system. Through a detailed analysis of pramāṇas and the characteristics of knowledge, the book offers valuable insights into the philosophical reasoning and intellectual traditions of ancient India. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in Indian philosophy, epistemology, and classical philosophical thought.
