Vatsyayana's Commentary on the Nyaya-sutra is one of classical
India's most important philosophical works. This Guide offers both
a map and interpretation of this challenging canonical text,
suitable for any student or novice reader. Treating them as a
single hybrid text, the Nyaya-sutra with Vatsyayana's commentary
systematizes in skeletal form centuries of ancient Indian
philosophical developments concerning logic, epistemology, and
dialectics, while also defending a realist categorial metaphysics.
It offers a number of epistemological and methodological insights
that inform intellectual inquiry in the Subcontinent for over a
millennium. Vatsyayana's Commentary also provides sophisticated
arguments for distinct positions in metaphysics, epistemology,
philosophy of language, and value theory that stand amongst the
best contributions to world philosophy. This guide, accessible to
students and researchers not familiar with classical Indian
philosophy, provides a distilled, accessible understanding of the
major scholarly, historical, and philosophical issues that inform
the Commentary, while unpacking its philosophical content such that
it speaks to modern readers. It also illustrates the way that the
Commentary may serve as a lens through which to view the formative
period of classical Indian philosophy.
