A 1986 book about classical Indian theories of this concept by Bimal Krishna Matilal defends a modern version of the theory of this concept espoused in a series of sutras by Aksapāda Gautama (“ahk-shah-PAH-dah gow-TAH-mah”). A philosophical school named for the absence of this concept included Sanjaya Belatthiputtha (“sahn-JYE-uh buh-LAH-tee-POO-tah”) and other thinkers who were known as “eel-wrigglers” because of their argumentative techniques. Jain (“jyne”) philosophers typically identify five varieties of this concept, including avadhi (“ah-VAH-dee”) and mati (“MAH-tee”). In some schools, anupalabdhi (“uh-NOOP-uh-LOB-dee”), or “non-perception,” is considered one of this concept’s sources. Upamāna (“oo-pah-MAH-nah”) and anumāna (“ah-noo-MAH-nah”) are among the six main sources of this concept, or pramanas (“prah-MAH-nahs”). The Sanskrit word for this concept is jñāna (“dzh-NAH-nah”). For 10 points, in classical Indian philosophy, the sources of what concept include inference and perception? ■END■
