The founder of the school of Navya-(New) Nyaya, with an exclusive emphasis on the pramanas, was GangeshaUpadhyaya (13th century), whose Tattvacintamani ("The Jewel of Thought on the Nature of Things") is the basic text for all later developments.
The logicians of this school were primarily interested in defining their terms and concepts and for this purpose developed an elaborate technical vocabulary and logical apparatus that came to be used by, other than philosophers, writers on law, poetics, aesthetics, and ritualistic liturgy.
Gangesha argued for the latter alternative, though he answers the first of the above three questions in the negative.
