Nyaya (school of philosophy)
Source: academia.edu: A Critical Edition of the Khyāti Section of the NyāyamañjarīSvataḥprāmāṇya (स्वतःप्रामाण्य) refers to the “doctrine of the intrinsic validity”, as discussed in the Khyāti Section of the 9th century Nyāyamañjarī (composed in Kashmir by Bhaṭṭa Jayanta) which represents an ontological, epistemological and linguistic study of classical Indian philosophy.—Jayanta first introduces the Prābhākara viewpoint and then from that standpoint a Prābhākara theorist discusses his purpose of introducing the akhyāti theory (§1.1)—how the theory of akhyāti contributes to a defense of the doctrine of the intrinsic validity (svataḥprāmāṇya) of cognition in general—, and its background such as the total negation of the existence of erroneous cognition (§1.2).
Nyaya (न्याय, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
