The analysis reveals that the Nyaya theory does not warrant the nature, career and destiny of the self (atman). The conceptual framework rests upon the questionable assumption that not only is the experience of the expert (apta) incorrigible but his communication of that experience is authentic. The framework can only be understood in its social context. In fact the author maintains that Indian religious and philosophical thought must be judged not only in the light of criteria generally accepted in these fields but also in the broad perspective of the social and intellectual background of the thinkers usually regarded as rsis beyond the pale of society. The study is both a challenge to the traditional presenta-tion of the Indian cultural heritage and a constructive hypothesis for further research and reappraisal on new lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788120808966\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.9 x 5.8 x 1.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motilal Banarsidass Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49324604490032,"sku":"DRG.MLBD_9788120808966","price":842.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/motilal-banarsidass-publications-book-default-title-gautama-the-nyaya-philosophy-by-39585279803696.jpg?v=1775956113","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/gautama-the-nyaya-philosophy-by","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
