The 6th century Indian Buddhist logician Dignāga's ideas about evidence and deductive reasoning remind me a lot of the analytic philosophy of the early 20th century.


If you are interested in such things, I suggest Buddhist Logic and Epistemology: Studies in the Buddhist Analysis of Inference and Language, and Epistemology, Logic, and Grammar In Indian Philosophical Analysis, by Bimal Krishna Matilal and Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism and Science and Society in Ancient India by Debiprasad Chattyopadhyay.
