Please expand this article for other systems of Hindu philosophy. Babub 13:09, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it might profit also to mention the meaning of Pramana in Buddhist philosophy, particularly in the work of Dignaga and Dharmakirti - I'll see what I can come up with in the latter regard. What systems of Hindu philosophy in particular do you feel are lacking? Zero sharp 05:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article lists Pratyakṣa, Anumāna, and Śabda as accepted by the Sankhya/Yoga school, and goes on to say they are enumerated in YS I.7. Thing is YS I.7 doesn't list Śabda, but Āgamāḥ. Can anybody enlighten me on the similarity or difference between these concepts? --80.133.118.105 (talk) 13:58, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of Hinduism and buddhism which cant cover all, we should divide it(philosophies) into astika and nastika so in astika we should have orthodox philosophies (six major orthodox schools of vedic religion) and in nastika (sramanic) we should add buddhism, jainism, charvaka,ajivika and ajnana etc and we should add criticisms of pramanas tby ajanana and skeptic jayarasi bhatta too either in nastika panel or in a separate panel titled "criticism of pramanas " Mr.nothing anonymous (talk) 22:16, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Astika-nastika is a specific Hindu-term, not a general term for Indian philosophies. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 04:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are right, āstika and nāstika would be better. But where exactly in this page do you want the change? RavagingCare (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RavagingCare Instead of having sections titled Hinduism and Buddhism, it should be Nastika and Aastika, and they should include the respective schools that come under them. 5arath (talk) 08:56, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The proper translation of Pratyakṣa will be Evidence, not Perception. The word Pratyakṣa literally means in front of the eyes and Evidence literally means obvious to the eyes. The use of the word Evidence in modern science is similar to the use of the word Pratyakṣa in ancient times. Therefore I suggest that this change is made or at least both perception and evidence are simultaneously used to explain Pratyakṣa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RavagingCare (talk • contribs) 17:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
