I'm currently working on the Lokāyata section of Bhavyakīrti's (10th century) Pradīpoddyotanānusandhiprakāśikānāmavyākhyāṭīkā. Although it seems that Bhavyakīrti doesn't fully understand the meaning of some Lokāyata arguments, the section is quite interesting.

The main subjects are:

• rejection of the Lokāyata epistemology,
• discussion of the mind-body relation,
• rejection of the Lokāyata negation of afterlife.

#Rationalism is a philosophical position or view that #reason is the source of knowledge.

Vernon J. #Bourke wrote that rationalism is defined as a methodology or a theory "in which the criterion of #truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive."
