Purva paksha, (पूर्व पक्ष) sometimes also transliterated as Poorva paksha, literally means former view/position. It is a tradition in the debates of Indian Logicians. It involves building a deep familiarity with the opponent's point of view before criticising it. The purva paksha approach has been used by Adi Shankaracharya as well as Ramanuja and later acharyas in their works. In ancient Indian jurisprudence, purva paksha referred to the complaint, with other parts of a trial consisting of uttar (the later), kriyaa (trial or investigation by the court), and nirnaya (verdict or decision).

| - Purva paksha, (पूर्व पक्ष) sometimes also transliterated as Poorva paksha, literally means former view/position. It is a tradition in the debates of Indian Logicians. It involves building a deep familiarity with the opponent's point of view before criticising it. The purva paksha approach has been used by Adi Shankaracharya as well as Ramanuja and later acharyas in their works. In ancient Indian jurisprudence, purva paksha referred to the complaint, with other parts of a trial consisting of uttar (the later), kriyaa (trial or investigation by the court), and nirnaya (verdict or decision). In his book Being Different (2011), Rajiv Malhotra sought to use the purva paksha approach. Malhotra states that purva paksha is the traditional dharmic approach to rival schools. It is a dialectical approach, taking a thesis by an opponent ('purva pakshin') and then providing its rebuttal ('khandana') so as to establish the protagonist's views ('siddhanta'). The purva paksha tradition required any debater first to argue from the perspective of his opponent to test the validity of his understanding of the opposing position, and from there to realize his own shortcomings. Only after perfecting his understanding of opposing views would he be qualified to refute them. Such debates encourage individuals to maintain flexibility of perspective and honesty rather than seek victory egotistically.In this way, the dialectical process ensures a genuine and far-reaching shift in the individual. According to Shrinivas Tilak, Malhotra's use of purva paksha in Being Different may be regarded as a kind of "reverse anthropology." Tilak states that By "reversing" the gaze on contemporary Western and Indological constructions of the dharmic worldview and ways of life, Malhotra seeks to expose how "exotic," "ethnic," and "provincial" such constructions have really been notwithstanding the West's allegedly "universalistic" claims (2011: 67, 176, 334). His other objective is to draw attention to the Christian-centric focus of the West's archive of knowledge and its historical involvement in the systematic suppression of the dharmic worldview and ways of life to be found in the works of Indologists. By problematizing the way in which Dharma has been represented by Western scholarship, he exposes the asymmetrical nature of the relationship that obtains between the powerful discipline of Indology and its disempowered subjects, the Indians (334).

- Purvapaksha (Devanagari: पूर्वपक्ष, Sanskriet: pūrvapakṣa) is het standpunt van de opponent in een Indisch dialectisch debat. Dit standpunt moet zo getrouw mogelijk worden weergegeven, waarna het in ieder geval ten dele ontkracht wordt door het eigen standpunt (uttarapaksha) naar voren te brengen. Zo zijn 's opgebouwd uit:

* samdeha, twijfel
* purvapaksha, standpunt van de opponent
* uttarapaksha, eigen standpunt
* siddhanta, uiteindelijke conclusie waarmee de aanvankelijke twijfel is opgelost Op deze manier dient een commentaar vooral als inleiding om het eigen standpunt naar voren te brengen en te onderbouwen. Door het standpunt van de tegenstander zo getrouw mogelijk te verwoorden, wordt zeker gemaakt dat het perspectief van de opponent begrepen is alvorens het weerlegd wordt. (nl)
