Publisher's Synopsis
There are many reasons for growing interest in Jain philosophy and literature. Jain philosophy's concept of anekantavada (multiple perspectives) provides valuable insights for Western philosophy of knowledge, suggesting that truth can be approached from various viewpoints - a concept that resonates with postmodern Western thought's skepticism of absolute truths. The combination of practical environmental wisdom, sophisticated metaphysical frameworks, and ethical systems that extend beyond human concerns makes Jain philosophy particularly relevant to contemporary Western intellectual and environmental movements. The growing curiosity for Jain philosophy is not met with adequate books. This book is a very small step towards this gap, which may help someone willing to know more about Jain Philosophy.
