Foundations of Tarkashastra (E-book)

Sages Kanaada and Gautama have enumerated and explained the elementary categories (padartha-s) of nature in Nyaya and Vaisheshika Shastra-s. The combination of that which has been discussed by these 2 sages is the subject matter of the Tarkashastra. Similar to Vyakarana, Tarkashastra is considered a meta-discipline, whose knowledge is essential for studying any other shastra.
In this E-book, basic concepts and terminologies of Tarkashastra are presented in sanskrit. Designed for beginners, it presents key terms, definitions, and basic principles in a clear, easy-to-understand format, serving as a visual guide to the traditional Indian system of logical analysis and debate.
