Tarka Sastra is a science of dialectics, logic and reasoning, and art of debate that analyzes the nature and source of knowledge and its validity.
Sastra in Sanskrit means that which gives teaching, instruction or command. Tarka means debate or an argument.
According to one reckoning, there are six sastras.
Vyakarana is one of them.
Four of the sastras are particularly important Vyakarana, Mimamsa, Tarka, and Vedanta.
There are several scholars well-versed in Tarka Sastras –
- Adi Shankara (788-820 CE),
- Uddyotkar (Nyayavartik, 6th-7th century),
- Vācaspati Miśra (Tatparyatika, 9th century),
- Udayanacharya (Tatparyaparishuddhi, 10th century),
- Jayanta Bhatta (Nyayamanjari, 9th century),
- Vishwanath (Nyayasutravrtti, 17th century),
- and Radhamohan Goswami (Nyayasutravivaran, 18th century).
