Navya-Nyāya Scholarship in Nabadwip
The birth of Navya-Nyāya philosophy in classical India is a landmark event. Nabadwip ( a small town 120 km away from Kolkata) was of the main centres of this new style of philosophizing. A large group of scholars devoted themselves to philosophical analysis of the important one in this tradition starting with Raghunātha Śiromaṇi. The present digital library attempts to digitize the works written in this tradition along with the commentaries as far as available.
प्रामाण्यवाद: (Prāmāṇyavādaḥ)
The original text of Gaṅgeśa, called Tattvacintāmaṇi, has been commented on by both Raghunātha Śiromaṇi and Gadāhara Bhattācārya. If knowledge is gained through the ways of knowing, then the very nature of knowledge rests on the nature and veridicality of these recognised ways of knowing. An examination of the veridicality of the ways of knowing is known as pārāmānya. In this book, both Raghunātha and Jagadīśa offer a detailed analysis of the debate concerning the nature and veridicality of the very idea of pramāṇa.
