Vātsyāyana was an Indian philosopher, commentator and logician of the Nyaya school.[1][2] He is the author of the Nyayabhasya, the first full commentary on the Nyāyasūtra.[3][4]
The Nyayabhasya[5] is the first commentary on the Nyāyasūtra that is still extant, and the first to which we find any reference. Vātsyāyana's commentary sets the agenda for much of Nyāya's philosophical developments throughout its history. His theory of knowledge gives special attention to the nature and importance of cognition as a guide to action. This theme informs several elements of his project, including his realism, his account of epistemic entitlement, and his notion of philosophy's contribution to living well.[6][7]
