Description

Tarka, as the Indian system of logic is called, is not an intellectual pastime for the pedant but a fine and precise tool for the philosopher who probes to discover the Ultimate Truth.  While the Tarka Samgrahais meant primarily to unlock the doors of the twin-darshana of Nyaya-Vaisheshika, it is also the master key that has been used by the Acharyas of the other darsanas -the Sankhya and Yoga, Mimamsa and Vedanta.  All Indian philosophy is characterized by the application of a rigorous logic that often looks hair-splitting to the untrained layman; but it is the very subtlety and vigur of the logic that has enabled the different metaphysical systems to stand the test of time and the tide of fashion.
