vaisheshika sutra of kanada - commentary by sankara misra“)

VAISHESHIKA SUTRA -- 1.1.20]
Who on the earth found out newton’s laws of motion here. I think it is self explanatory that these things have nothing to do with Newton’s laws of motion or anything similar to that. Off course I am not saying entire vaisheshika philosophy is useless. Kanada’s thoughts as a philosophical speculation were more naturalistic and advanced compared to other philosophies of that time. But to compare it to Newton’s law is absurdity. It is a clear case of trying to equate philosophical speculation and scientific theories. Kanada was prominent philosopher in the vaisheshika school of indian philosophy. He vews on
atomism was similar(if not
more advanced) to greek philosopher Democritus
but important thing to note is that it was philosophical speculation not
scientific analysis.He wasn't using scientific method. One thing that
distinguishes science is that empirical testing of the ideas. To give a similar
example many Ionian coast philosophers in greek also speculated on many physical
theories but it is laughable to say that newton and other physicists just
rediscovered what Ionian coast philosophers had said
