[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Contradictory in Tibetan Buddhism glossary

When a reason is Contradictory (i.e., “where the reason and the predicate are opposites�) refers to the �Three Fallacies� (of a Logical Reason) which are known in Tibetan as ltar snang gsum.—Accordingly, [while discussing the standpoints of the Vaiśeṣikas and Naiyāyikas]: [...] The Vaiśeṣikas admit three sources of valid cognition: perception, inference, and scripture; the Naiyāyikas admit those three and also admit comparison as a source of valid cognition, making four. Also, both schools assert three types of inference, three aspects of perfect logical reasons that are the basis of those inferences, and three fallacies that subvert a reason [e.g., when a reason is contradictory]. I will not address here their standpoints on the sixteen or eight categories of logic.
