Abstract:
This research paper aims to explore the laws of motion proposed by Kaṇāda, an ancient Vedic philosopher who is believed to have lived around the 6th century BCE. The paper will compare his laws of motion with Sir Isaac Newton's classical laws of motion (1643-1727). Despite the widespread recognition of Newton's laws in the Western scientific tradition, Kaṇāda's contributions to the understanding of motion are often overlooked. Therefore, by delving into Kaṇāda's propositions and laws, this paper will bring attention to the parallels and distinctions between these two perspectives on motion.

摘要：本研究旨在探究约公元前6世纪在世的古代吠陀哲学家迦那陀（Kaṇāda）所提出的运动定律。本文将其运动定律与艾萨克·牛顿爵士（1643-1727）的经典运动定律展开对比。尽管牛顿经典力学定律在西方科学传统中已得到广泛认可，但迦那陀在运动认知领域所作出的贡献却常遭忽视。有鉴于此，本文通过深入梳理迦那陀的相关命题与法则，旨在提请学界关注这两种运动认知视角之间的共通之处与本质差异。
