Abstract
[The present essay is a translation of a Sanskrit paper written by one of the greatest exponents of the Nyāya tradition (both old and New Nyāya) of our times who died in 1987. He tries to 101summarize some of the controversies and comparisons discussed during a conference in July 1983, at Pune (India) where Russell’s and Moore’s views about ‘propositions’ were explained in Sanskrit to traditional Sanskrit-speaking philosophers who are otherwise unexposed to Western philosophy].
