Универсум установления достоверности знания в эпистемологии и логике (праманаваде) Джаяраши Бхатты
In the article the results of analysis of Sanskrit word vyavahāra and its logico-epistemological functions in «Tattvopaplavasiṁha» by Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa (VIII–IX cen.) are presented. In the text vyavahāra plays the role of the universe of discourse and universe of verification of knowledge, but the characteristics of the universe in Indian tradition only partially coincide with the characteristics of the «universe of discourse» in Western epistemology and logic. The main difference is that in the Western tradition of discourse the universe is understood as an area of certain objects, and in Indian tradition the two main meanings of vyavahāra (as daily practices and as conventional usage of words) are not restricted by the requirement of certainty of the universe of discourse.
