The Nyaya philosophy is primarily concerned with the conditions of valid thought and the means of acquiring true knowledge of objects. Its ultimate end, like that of the other systems of Indian philosophy, is liberation - a state of pure existence - which is free from both pleasure and pain. For the attainment of this liberation, a true knowledge of objects is the surest means.
