Description
The Padārthatattvanirūpaṇa of Raghunātha Śiromaṇi: A Demonstration of the True Nature of the Things to Which Words Refer – Karl H. Potter Karl H. Potter’s The Padārthatattvanirūpaṇa of Raghunātha Śiromaṇi provides an in-depth analysis and translation of one of the most significant works in the Navya-Nyāya (New Logic) tradition of Indian philosophy. Raghunātha Śiromaṇi, a 15th–16th century philosopher, is renowned for his contributions to logic, epistemology, and metaphysics, particularly in refining and expanding the classical Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika system. This text explores the fundamental categories (padārthas) of reality, examining how words refer to objects and how language shapes our understanding of existence. Raghunātha challenges and reinterprets traditional Nyāya metaphysics by questioning established categories like substance (dravya), quality (guṇa), and relation (sambandha). His innovations laid the foundation for later advancements in Indian logic and analytic philosophy. Karl H. Potter’s translation and commentary make this complex Sanskrit work accessible to modern scholars, highlighting its significance within both Indian and global philosophical discourse. This book is essential for those interested in Indian logic, philosophy of language, and epistemology, offering insights into how classical Indian thinkers engaged with fundamental questions of meaning, reference, and reality.
