MORALES HARLEY, Roberto. Philosophy, rhetoric and argument in india. Káñina [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.1, pp.91-107. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v41i1.28823.

The paper states that Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Argumentation, traditionally considered Western fields of study, did exist in India. Darśana (point of view), through its multiple currents, deals with Philosophy; the juncture between nyāya (logic) and alaṅkāras (figures of speech) results in a sui generis Rhetoric; and the diverse modes of kathā (discussion) offer an appropriate environment for Argumentation. Nonetheless, the concepts overlap. In the end, some examples driven from the Mahābhārata are included.

Palavras-chave : Indian Philosophy; Indian Rhetoric; Indian Argumentation; Indian Epics.
