ABSTRACT
In the preceding essay, the Sa1!lkhya, theistical as well as atheistical, was examined. The subject of the present essay will be the dialectic philosophy of Gotama,2 and atomical of Kal)ada/ respectively called Nyaya4 "reasoning," and Vaise?ika "particular." The first, as its title implies, is chiefly occupied with the metaphysics of logic; the second with physics: that is, with "particulars" or sensible objects; and hence its name.s They may be taken generally as parts of one system, supplying each other's deficiencies;6 commonly agreeing upon such points as are treated by both, yet on some differing, and therefore giving origin to two schools, the Naiyayika and Vaise#ka.
