Given that & #39;discourse& #39; has descended unto us, mediated as it is by an economy built on commoditizing attention and a culture that rewards immediacy, we must go back to first principles to remain sane - Nyaya darsana offers sophisticated definitions on the & #39;logic of argumentation& #39; https://twitter.com/aamipankaj/status/1284052762041348097">https://twitter.com/aamipanka...
Training on & #39;critical thinking& #39;, grounded in Nyaya and Tarka principles can have a tremendous impact in reviving a healthy public discourse - particularly those who seek to opine on or be an interpreter/interlocutor of & #39;civilizational wisdom& #39; need to cultivate new habits of mind
Familiarity with & #39;cognitive biases& #39; etc helps but they do not constitute a darsana - Nyaya for example has its own theory of the transcendental. Failing to recognize this yields category mistakes in trying to define & #39;dharma& #39;, & #39;religion& #39; etc - preparation must match ambition
