Dharmakirti's Theory of Inference: Revaluation and Reconstruction

by Rajendra Prasad

Dharmakirti was a Buddhist logician of 640CE.

In this book, Rajendra Prasad uses the method of contemporary logic to clarify Dharmakirti's system of inference. Despite not being organized along the lines of formal logic, Dharmakirti's inference emerges as a theory of deductive inference with an economy of formulation.
