Nyāya and Vaisesika: Two Ways of Classifying the World - HUA

 Nyāya and Vaisesika ontologies are two important ways to classify things in the world, which have their origins in the Vedic thought. These ontologies serve as the foundation for all Indic knowledge traditions and have had a significant impact on the way logic and reasoning are used in Hindu knowledge systems. 


The Nyāya and Vaisesika systems began with the sutras of Gotama and Kanada, respectively. These systems aimed to make logic and reasoning more systematic and sounder by developing elaborate methods of cognition-centric approach in Indic knowledge systems. Over time, these systems evolved and transformed, eventually merging into the Navya-nyāya system. 


The Nyāya Vaisesika Basic Course offered by MIT-SVS is an opportunity for Sanskrit master’s certificate students to explore these systems in-depth. The medium of instruction is Sanskrit, and only students enrolled in the MIT-SVS program can register for the course. The course requires students to have completed the previous MA Sanskrit Course and to have been admitted into the Master Program in Sanskrit through MIT-SVS. 


During this course, students will have the opportunity to examine the evolutionary stages of the Nyāya system of thought, from its ancient (pracina) origins to its recent (navya) form. They will also learn about the Vaisesika ontology and how it has been incorporated into the Nyāya system. 


One of the primary objectives of this course is to help students understand the evolving nature of the use of logic and reason within various technical Indic knowledge systems. They will appreciate the elaborate cognition-centric approach in Indic knowledge systems, which emphasize logical reasoning and validation, as well as the mechanisms of expression. 


Another important aspect of this course is that students will learn how to distinguish and apply the classification schema at the heart of the Nyāya system on other Vedic and Indic knowledge systems. This skill will be useful for students who wish to pursue further studies in the field of Indic knowledge systems or those who wish to apply this knowledge in their careers. 


In conclusion, the Nyāya Vaisesika Basic Course is a highly specialized program that offers students a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of the Nyāya and Vaisesika systems of thought. It provides students with a deep understanding of the evolution of logic and reasoning in Indic knowledge systems and equips them with the skills to apply this knowledge to other Vedic and Indic knowledge systems.
