Overview for The Tattva-Chintamani of Gangesa Upadhyaya (Vol. I): With the commentary of Mathura natha Tarkavagis

The present book comprises the Pratyaksa Khanda (section on perception), one of the four sections of Tattvacintamani of Gangesa Upadhyaya (1200 A.D.). This section is divided into twenty-five sub-sections, from managalavada to Savikalpakavada, according to the topics discussed. Herein the author has established the standpoint of the nyaya system, after refuting the doctrines of his opponents, partifularly the Buddhists and the Mimamsakas of the Prabhakara school, discussing the factors involved in the process of thinking and exposing their fallacious views. A new methodology and terminology used by the author has entered the other Sastras including grammar which become intelligible after the study of this work. The book has captured the entire intelligentsia of the traditional school of India. Besides, on Indian logic as evidenced in the writing of modern scholars like Vidyabhusana, Ingalls, Potter, Guha and Matilal, the present edition of Tattvacintamani comes as an indispensable work. The utility of the present work (to be complet3ed in four Vols. Is further enhanced with addition, as introduction, of a summary of the work, rerproduced from Vidyabhusana’s history of Indian logic. The voluminous Commentary of Mathuranatha Tarkavagisa is added to the text
