Bhavivikta (c. 520-580 AD) was an Indian commentator and logician of the Nyaya School. He is mentioned by the Buddhist writer Santaraksita as one of the major rivals of Dharmakirti.[1] He is said to have written a commentary on a Nyayabhasya, presumably Vatsyayana’s.

Views

The views which are attributed to him by Santaraksita are the following:[2][3]

  • Since the ego-making faculty (ahamkara) is self-cognizable, the self is perceptible and can be proved thereby.
  • We can sometimes perceive substances without their qualities, e.g., in a shady place.
  • There is a distinct category of universals. Universals are the causes of names and concepts, and they are spoken about and known in a different way from individuals.
  • A view on perception.
  • The "reaffirmation" (upanaya) is an indispensable member of the inference pattern.
  • A view on the prakaranasama fallacy.
