Nyāya

Nyāya took the Nyāya Sūtras, attributed to Akṣapāda Gautama, as a foundational text. In the thirteenth century Gaṅgeśa of Mithila founded the new Nyāya tradition and examined the school's methods in his Tattvacintāmaṇi.

Raghunātha Śiromaṇi of Nabadwip in Bengal carried the new tradition forward. Its precise language for analysing knowledge and reasoning remained in use among Indian philosophers through the eighteenth century.
