Man is the animal of connected logical discourse1. Aristotle finds interesting weaving of rational and irrational aspects in humans as inseparable and based on cause and origin2. It means nothing happens without cause/s3. Number of times matters are taken as effect which are formed after certain causes3. Hence, a person or thing that gives rise to an action, phenomenon or condition is termed as cause (Karana)4 and an effect of cause is Karya5.

It is invariably antecedent to some product and is not otherwise constituted6. Indian philosophy has contradictory theories on Karya-karana. Shankhya Darshana sugg...
