Overview

Excerpt from Indian Logic and Atomism: An Exposition of the Nyaya and Vaicesika Systems While the philosophy of the Vedanta is well known in Europe, the Nyaya and Vaicesika, the Indian systems Of logic and realism, have attracted hardly a tithe of the interest due to them as able and earnest efforts to solve the problems of knowledge and being on the basis of reasoned argument. The systems are indeed orthodox, and admit the authority of the sacred scriptures, but they attack the problems of existence with human means, and scripture serves for all practical purposes but to lend sanctity to results which are achieved not only without its aid, but often in very dubious harmony with its tenets.
