Prabhākara - Prabhākara (English spelling)

Date of birth and death unknown. A thinker of the Mīmānsa school, one of the six schools of Indian philosophy, around 700. This school is called the Gurā school. He wrote Brihatī, a re-commentary on Śabarasvāmin's (date of birth and death unknown) Mīmānsa-sūtra Commentary. He established eight principles: substance, quality, motion, universality, intrinsic potential, similarity, and number, and recognized five types of knowledge bases: direct perception, inference, language, analogy, and hypothesis. He also developed a philosophy of language based on the idea that words in a sentence express their own meaning linked to the meanings of other words in the sentence.
