Abstract	The connotation of the term “epistemology” is the science of knowledge. While science having two broad branches i.e., normative and positive, knowledge comes under the normative perspective. Thus normative concept of epistemology is although disregarded by many philosophers like Quine, however Quine’s theory was later criticized by Colin McGuinn. In my paper I have first explained some points of Quine’s theory from the perspective of Navya Nyaya and then made a comparative analysis of Quine’s theory and Navya Nyaya theory of knowledge. Finally, I have come to the conclusion that, logically true sentence i.e., analytic statement is established by inference, which is claimed both by Quine and Navya Nyaya.
Keywords	Epistemology, justified true belief (JTB), cognition, analytic statement and synthetic statement.
