ABSTRACT

Numerous philosophical schools have emerged in India, each pursuing a distinct course in the pursuit of truth. Many of these traditions have the same objective, despite their different approaches: obtaining real truth and, eventually, salvation. The Nyaya and Vaisheshika systems are notable among them for emphasizing the use of reason. Using a scientific methodology, this system presents arguments, backs them up with facts, conducts comparative analysis, and draws well-founded conclusions. Through deep intellectual insight, ancient sages established this approach, which eventually evolved into a separate field of philosophy. Tarka, which translates to "logical reasoning," is the process of using reason to separate fact from fiction. Tarka actually involves a deeper relationship between reason and ethics, while being sometimes perceived as a purely intellectual exercise devoid of emotional or moral considerations. Its development is intimately related to the expansion of Vedic philosophy. This article emphasizes Ayurvedic understating of concepts of Tarka and Nyaya, along with their contribution towards the logical reasoning and treatment.
