Significance and Application of Anumana In Clinical Research

Conclusion

. So classical methods of research are not only accepting a general principle from logic but also proving its application for each fact through Pramanas. Nyaya darsana describes Anumana as the act of inferring i.e. something unknown from known data. The inferential knowledge is preceded by perception (Pratyaksha) in one’s own mind (Swarthanumana) through a five membered syllogism, convincing others (Pararthanumana). The process being undertaken within framework of set of approaches including the five membered syllogisms constitutes the research methodology. Here an attempt has been made to explore the use significance and application of Anumana by interpreting with various research aspects.
