“…The theory of negation in ancient India has been a perennial topic of interest, particularly in its manifestation in the philosophical schools of Mı ¯ma ¯m ˙sa ¯and Nya ¯ya, and in Buddhist philosophy, see e.g. Bhattacharya (1944), Staal (1962), Matilal (1968), Kajiyama (1973), Chakrabarti (1978), Chakravarti (1980), Shaw (1980Shaw ( , 1988, Bilimoria (2008Bilimoria ( , 2017, Westerhoff (2006), Priest (2010Priest ( , 2015Priest ( , 2019, Guha (2013), Hsun-Mei and Wen-Fang (2020), Wada (2020, pp. 73-105), Rahlwes (2022), among others.…”

The theory of negation developed in the grammatical-philosophical system of later Vyākaraṇa remains almost entirely unstudied, despite its close links with the (widely studied) approaches to negation found in other philosophical schools such as Nyāya and Mīmāṃsā, and despite its consequent importance for a comprehensive understanding of the theory of negation in ancient India. In this paper we present an edition, translation and commentary of the relevant sections of Nāgeśa’s Paramalaghumañjūṣā, a concise presentation by the final authority of the Pāṇinian tradition, together with an explanatory introduction outlining the grammarians’ theory of negation and its relations particularly with the Nyāya theory of negation.

“…Also, the styles of the contributions were broad, not restrained by the philosophical approach to religion we are emphasizing here, thus the title "Special Issue on Logic and Religion." There were two papers related to Hinduism and Indian philosophy (Bilimoria 2017;Silvestre, 2017a); one dealing with logic in the Islamic world (Akrami 2017); and four dealing with the ontological argument for the existence of God, focusing on Anselm's Christian motivated formulation (Archambaut 2017; Desclés 2017), Leibniz's formulation (Lenzen 2017), and the contemporary formulation of Gödel (Benzmüller et al, 2017) This Sophia special issue focuses on the connections between logic from a broader perspective and philosophy of religion proper. The second and third articles are about theist arguments.…”

This paper introduces a special issue on logic and philosophy of religion in this journal (Sophia). After discussing the role played by logic in the philosophy of religion along with classical developments, we present the basic motivation for this special issue accompanied by an exposition of its content. Keywords Logic. Philosophy of religion. Arguments for and against the existence of God. Analysis of the religious concepts. World Congress on Logic and Religion From a historical point of view, logic has been a constant companion of philosophical reflections about religion. Arguments for and against the existence of God have been proposed and subjected to logical analysis in different periods of the history of philosophy. A good example of this are the several versions of the ontological argument which appeared since Anselm's seminal work, the Proslogion, in the eleventh century, as well as the several kinds of logical scrutiny which they have been subjected to. Some of the greatest pre-twentieth century philosophers, including Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza, and Kant, have either proposed or analyzed ontological arguments. Ontological arguments are of course just one type of theist arguments, albeit the best exemplar of a priori arguments for the existence of God. Other (kinds of) arguments of historical importance are cosmological arguments, moral arguments, teleological and design arguments, arguments from miracles, etc. From the perspective of atheist arguments, the problem of evil occupies a prominent place. Names such as Epicurus, Aquinas, Leibniz, Hume, and Kant have addressed it.
