Navya-Nyaya

Navya-Nyaya, or "New Logic," is a philosophical framework developed in India around the 13th century. It focuses on analyzing language and meaning to ensure precise reasoning and argumentation in philosophy and law. Unlike earlier systems, Navya-Nyaya emphasizes formal logic and the use of symbols, allowing for intricate discussions about concepts and their relationships. It provides tools for evaluating knowledge claims and addressing contradictions, making it influential in both philosophical discourse and legal reasoning in Indian thought. Its methods are still studied today for their rigorous approach to logical analysis and epistemology.
