ABSTRACT

Indian logic is no better understood now by the modern mind than it was two thousand years ago when it first was taking shape. Today, those who contribute to the growing literature about Indian logic either recapitulate perfunctorily what is said by those who still engage in it, or interpret it gratuitously through concepts commandeered from mathematical logic. A new approach is desperately needed, if we are not to drown in a morass of erudite mathematical symbols and arcane Sanskrit texts.
