Books dealing with individual philosophers as well as annotated
translations of their works are very much in need in the field of
classical Indian philos- ophy. Hence the research efforts of modern
scholars should increasingly be devoted to this objective.
Professor M. Tachikawa has selected a very short elementary
treatise of Udayana as well as some portions of a larger work of
the same author to supplement the first. His aim is to present to
us, in Udayana's own term, how he (Udayana) sees the
Nyaya-VaiSe~ika system in a synoptic fashion. I wish to take this
opportunity to say a few things about Udayana and the
Nyaya-Vaise~ika system. UDAYANA Udayana was a pre-eminent
philosopher and an astute logician of the eleventh- twelfth century
India. He belonged to the Mithila region of the present Bihar 1
state. In the history of the Nyaya-V aise~a, he holds a very
crucial position. In fact, two different schools of philosophy,
Nyaya and Vaise~a, belonging to ancient India, merged into one in
the writings of Udayana. As it has been said, in Udayana, the happy
marriage between Nyaya and Vaise~ika was com- plete - the Vai e~ika
ontological scheme (padiirthas or system of categories) was in this
way combined with the pramiir:za doctrine (logic and a theory of
knowledge) of Nyaya to produce what later came to be designated as
Navya- nyaya.
