तर्कशास्त्रप्रवेशः

Foundations of Tarkashastra

Sages Kanada 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 course, Dr. Sathyanarayana C T explains briefly the basic concepts and terminology of Tarkashastra in Sanskrit.
