My object in this volume is to write the history of what is called Nyaya, one of the six schools into which orthodox philosophy in India is divided. The world logic, although it is in common parlance held synonymous with Indian Nyaya, is not exactly identical with it. Logic covers some of the subjects of Nyaya as well as Vaisesika and is not co-extensive with either. Indian Logic has been differently defined in different ages but the definition generally accepted is the science which ascertains valid knowledge either by means of the six sense or by means of the five members of the syllogism : in other words, perception and inference are the subject-matter of Logic.

Satis Chandra Vidyabhusana has in this work clearly marked the principal stages of Indian logic in the vast period of about two thousand years beginning from 640 B.C. and has traced how from Anviksiki the science of debate, Indian logic developed into the science of knowledge Pramanasastra, and then into the science of dialectics Prakarana of Tarkasastra.
