Dictionary: Tattvachintamani
Tattvachintamani Tattvachintamani is a treatise in Sanskrit authored by 14th-century CE Indian logician and philosopher Gangesa (fl. c. 1325). The title may be translated into English as “A Thought-jewel of Truth.” The treatise is also known as Pramāṇa-chintāmaṇi (“A Thought-jewel of Valid Knowledge”). The treatise introduced a new era in the history of Indian logic. Satis Chandra Vidyabhusana in his authoritative 681-page history of Indian logic divided the millennia long history of Indian logic into three sometimes-overlapping periods: Ancient period (650 BCE–100 CE), Medieval period (100–1200 CE) and Modern period (from 900 CE)....
