Question

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. (10[2])Upamāna (“oo-pah-MAH-nah”) and anumāna (10[1])(“ah-noo-MAH-nah”) are among (10[1])the six main sources of this (10[1])concept, or pramanas (10[5])(“prah-MAH-nahs”). The Sanskrit word for this concept is jñāna (10[2])(“dzh-NAH-nah”). For (10[1])10 points, in (10[1])classical Indian philosophy, (10[1])the sources of what concept include inference and (10[1])perception? (10[2])■END■ (10[5]0[3])
