நியாய, சைவசித்தாந்த மெய்யியல்களில் அறிவு பற்றிய ஆராய்ச்சி ஓர் ஒப்பீட்டாய்வு

Abstract

Philosophy is based on epistemology. It is a search for truth. Nyaya is considered to be the first philosophy in Indian philosophy to present the study of knowledge on the basis of logic. It accepted the Vedas but was initially materialistic. The materialistbased search for truth addresses the 'Vada' principles as 16 elements. It thus logically advanced the inquiry into knowledge. Driven by its appeal, other Indian philosophies adopted and rejected the concepts of Nyaya Darsha and presented their own unique intellectual thought. Justice is inevitable and the world has become ideological in accordance with the news. Among the Indian philosophies, it was the later Saivism that presented the three-object argument and placed it on a logical basis on the scientific ground. On that basis, this study compares and examines the discourse of knowledge in both philosophies. Did the two philosophies engage in dialogue about knowledge to advance their respective ideas? If so, how they were formed is taken as the research problem here. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the two philosophical ideas about knowledge. These two philosophies have not been extensively compared and examined in the scientific field. Therefore, this study will help the comparative study of future philosophers. In this study comparative method is mainly used and descriptive and historical research methods are used as needed
