Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy considers four valid means to correct knowledge: perception, inference, comparison and testimony of reliable sources. Perception is primary, and is based on five sensory inputs (eye, ear, touch, taste and smell). The other three methods depend on it, according to Nyaya school.
