Hinduism - What Is Tarka In Hindu Philosophy?

 

("reasoning") Tarka is the form of argument in Indian logic that focuses on the detection and classification of fallacies.

When employed in debate, tarka is used to discredit an opponent's position, either by reducing it to absurdity, by demonstrating that the argument fails to meet sufficient criteria, or by demonstrating that it contains an error that makes the argument unworkable.
