Which of following is true regarding Classical Indian School of Logic?

A. It is deductive

B. It is inductive

C. It is formal

D. It is material

E. It always leads from universal to particular only

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Key Points

1. Deductive (A): Classical Indian logic includes deductive reasoning, particularly in the Nyaya school, which emphasizes formal logic and reasoning.
2. Inductive (B): While less emphasized compared to deductive logic, some aspects of inductive reasoning can be found in Classical Indian logic, particularly in the context of empirical and inferential knowledge.
3. Formal (C): Classical Indian logic is highly formalized, especially in the Nyaya school, which deals with the structure of arguments and syllogisms.
4. Material (D): This term can be interpreted in different ways, but in the context of Indian logic, it can refer to the content and substance of arguments, which is also a consideration in Indian logical theories.
5. Always leads from universal to particular only (E): This statement is too restrictive. While Classical Indian logic does include movement from universal to particular, it also accommodates other forms of inference.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be: A, B, C, and D only

This includes all the elements that are characteristic of Classical Indian logic and excludes the overly restrictive statement (E).
