Like if you sincerely have any ethical or religious framework beyond bloody tribalism and the rule of matsya-nyaya the sheer abhorrence of this should leap out at you

Earlier this week I just unearthed my great grandfather, G. Hanumantha Rao's essay on "The dialectic of prāmāṇya with special reference to nyāya and mīmāṃsā" written in 1935.

Cats in South Asian art embody fascinating contradictions — worshipped yet mistrusted, loyal yet deceitful. Sanskrit traditions contrast marjara-nyaya (kitten-like devotion) with marjara-vrata (cat's deceitful vow), showing the feline's dual nature in paintings across the subcontinent's culture.
A History of Cats in Indian Art
In his final book, art historian B.N. Goswamy sketches a portrait of the Indian cat, drawing on Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim fables.

In logic as discussed by Nyāya and Buddhist epistemologists, each syllogism requires two examples, one of something like the subject at hand (hence, an example bringing an analogy), and one of something unlike it (hence, an example bringing a disanalogy).

Non-conceptual perception (nirvikalpakapratyakṣa) is a super-interesting topic, but it is hard to reconcile with other tenets of the Nyāya school (not with the Buddhist epistemological school). Good to know that scholars work on it!

I think that all students working on #SanskritPhilosophy should know enough abt Nyāya (at least Jayanta), Buddhist epistemology (at least Dharmakīrti) & Mīmāṃsā (at least Kumārila). Without these three, almost no philosophical debate is understandable.

Most scholars working on Sanskrit thought have so far been focusing on the role of schools (“Advaita Vedānta”, “Nyāya”, “Śrīvaiṣṇavism” etc.).

I’ll probably continue to lead with the social-political one instead of the metaphysics-cosmology one—(1) all fragments of Heraclitus; (2) ~1/2 of the Daodejing; (3) Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika (sutras & commentaries); (4) ~1/2 of Lucretius’ De Rerum—which was uhhh less popular lol

2.Avoid broad generalizations (e.g. “Western” or “Eastern” philosophy”), including “Chinese philosophy” or “the Nyāya school”. Refer instead, as much as possible, to specific authors (compare the absurdity of “European philosophy says…”, “Analytic philosophy says…”…)

Think Asian philosophy is just "mystical wisdom"?
Nyāya: ancient South Asian formal logic
Confucianism: virtue ethics 200 years before Aristotle
Mohism: utilitarianism 1300 years before Bentham

I'm spending just six lectures out of 25 or so in my history of philosophy class on classical Chinese philosophy (Analects, Daodejing, Zhuangzi) and classical Indian philosophy (Nyaya, Nagarjuna), but it feels quite radical for me and also rewarding. I hope the students are feeling the same way.
