Not only metaphysical presuppositions are embedded in different theories of valid cognition, even the theories of false cognition which are technically known as 'Khyativada' (Theories of Error) are formulated after keeping parity with such metaphysical presuppositions e.g. when a rope is perceived as snake, it is described as perceived wrongly and reject our earlier cognition as a false cognition. Now the question what is the factor which constitute falsity of the error ? Is the falsity ascribed to the apprehension itself or to both apprehension and content ? These questions are solved by different systems of Indian Philosophy in different ways after following their presupposition. There lies the controversy among different philosophers regarding the nature of false content.
