English
अप-कर्ष—सम mf(आ) a sophism in the Nyāya (e.g. ‘sound has not the quality of shape as a jar has, therefore sound and a jar have no qualities in common’).

English
अपकर्षसम Tatpur. m. f. (-मः-मा) (In the Nyāya philosophy.)
The sophism of the non-existence of qualities
viz. arguing,
that because two things have one quality not in common,
they will have none in common
e. g. sound and a jar being
both artificially produced are perishable
now the sophism
in question would consist in concluding: that because sound
has not the quality of shape, which belongs to jar, or because
a jar does not refer to the sense of hearing as sound does,
sound and jar are neither artificially produced nor perishable.
E. अपकर्ष and सम. (With respect to the gender of this word
and the ellipsis required to explain it, see the E. of अनित्यसम.)
