• Why is upamāna accepted as an independent means of knowledge in mainstream Nyāya?
• Why is upamāna so rarely used in Nyāya literature, and yet anointed with an independent epistemological status?
• Were there ever other examples produced, besides ‘a gayal is like a cow’?
• What is the role of upamāna in Nyāya inferences? Is this related to the logical role of analogy in inductive arguments?
• Why could Bhāsarvajña not accept upamāna?
• Why does Bhāsarvajña explains upamāna as verbal testimony, and not to as inference, as others have done?Activities and aimsDuring the course we will read and discuss the arguments in the relevant passages of the Nyāyasāra and Nyāyabhūṣaṇa (NBhū, pp. 417–427), with particular attention to the following:• Refining reading skills of Sanskrit texts
• Learning about the nuances of inference and verbal testimony
• Assessing the philological value of the edition and the manuscripts of the Nyāyabhūṣaṇa.
