Gageśa (English spelling)

Date of birth and death unknown. An Indian thinker from the 13th to 14th century. A scholar of the Nyaya school. In response to the scathing criticism of the theory of knowledge of Udayana (date of birth and death unknown) and others by Śrīharsha of the non-dual monist school, he wrote the Tattva-Cintamani as a rebuttal. This book consists of four parts, each of which discusses in detail the four means of knowledge: direct knowledge, inference, analogy, and language. He also devised a much stricter method of definition and terminology than had been used up to that point, and established the Naviya-Nyaya (neo-Nyaya) school. Thereafter, research into the theory of knowledge and logic was carried out in the form of commentaries on this great work.

生没年不詳。13~14世紀ころのインドの思想家。ニヤーヤ学派の学匠。不二一元論(ふにいちげんろん)派のシュリーハルシャŚrīharaがウダヤナUdayana(生没年不詳)などの知識論を痛烈に批判したのに対し、その反論として『タットバ・チンターマニ』を著した。この書は4部よりなり、直接知、推理、類比、言語の四つの知識手段を各部にあてて詳論している。また、従来よりもはるかに厳密な定義法と術語体系を編み出し、ナビヤ・ニヤーヤ(新ニヤーヤ学派)を確立した。以後、知識論、論理学の研究は、この大著の注釈という形で展開されていった。
