Abstract

From the beginning of philosophy, different types of theories have emerged in the East and the West. The inference has been widely discussed in both philosophy. In Indian philosophy, the inference is called the act of inferring (something unknown from the knowledge data). But in Western philosophy, the inference is a process by which one proposition is arrived at and affirmed on the basis of one or more other propositions accepted as the starting point of the process. Inference in Indian philosophy is the second praman and it is western philosophy perspective belief. In this paper, I will discuss inferences from an East and West perspective. Both East and West logic have contributed to the development of philosophy, science, and mathematics. East Logic known as Nyāya Logic. On the other hand, Western Logic also known as Aristotle Logic. East Logic based on the Inference and Analogy. But Western Logic is based on the principles of deduction and inference.
