Very well written article. If I may add to this, the vāda usually composes of 3 parts.
1. Purva paksha.
2. Khandana
3. Uttara paksha. Purva paksha which literally translates prior view is when the debater should talk from the opponent's perspective. This has to be confirmed by the opponent, which proves that the debater has understood the opponent's view point. Then comes khandana, which is the actual opposing view point that the debater puts forward refuting the view point of the opponent. The last is Uttara paksha, the opinion of the debater. (Or siddhānta as mentioned in this article) |
