Nyaya Babbling

Nyaya Babbling is a concept from Indian philosophy that refers to the early, instinctive attempt to express thoughts through repetitive sounds or syllables, similar to how babies babble. It’s considered a natural stage in developing language and understanding, where one begins to organize and experiment with sounds before forming meaningful words. In the Nyaya school of logic and knowledge, this babbling phase symbolizes the initial, unrefined expressions of ideas, which are gradually refined into coherent language and reasoning. It highlights the foundational process of moving from raw instinct to conscious communication and understanding.
