PHILOSOPHICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT BY NYĀYA-KUSUMĀÑJALI

Abstract

Nyāya-Kusumāñjali, composed by Udayana, serves as a monumental text in Indian philosophy that offers rigorous arguments for the existence of Īśvara (God). Its philosophical rigor and logical methodology remain relevant in contemporary thought, providing insights into epistemology, metaphysics, and theology. This paper explores the significance of Nyāya-Kusumāñjali in addressing modern philosophical debates and its relevance to contemporary discourse on theism, logic, and rationality.
