About the Book:
This scholarly volume presents a series of philosophical lectures delivered by the eminent Indian thinker and translator, Ganganath Jha. Focused on classical Indian epistemology, the lectures explore key concepts as formulated by Gautama and expanded within the Nyaya school of thought.

The book includes in-depth discussions on pivotal topics such as the method adopted by Gautama, the nature of Pramana (means of valid knowledge), Bhranti (illusion), Samsaya (doubt), Smriti (remembrance), Karana (cause), the four recognized kinds of right cognition, and Pratyaksha (perception). Each lecture delves into the logical structure and philosophical depth of these ideas, making the work an essential reference for students and scholars of Indian logic, philosophy, and Sanskrit literature.

With clarity and analytical rigor, Ganganath Jha provides insight into the reasoning traditions that shaped ancient Indian metaphysical inquiry. This book remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Nyaya epistemology and its enduring relevance in philosophical discourse.
