Excerpt from Brief Notes on the Modern Nyaya System of Philosophy and Its Technical Terms

HE term Nyaya is'composed of fir (with certainty), z of 5i (to go) and? (by which), and means literally the method of coming with certainty [to a conclusion]. As used in Hindu Philosophy it means the syllogism. Gotama is the earliest writer who treats of the syllogism; and his work, the gautama-sutra (aphorisms of Gotama), and those of writers who discuss philosophical questions according to his method, whether they discuss the syllogism or not, make up the Nyziya system of philosophy.
