About The Book

This collection of papers presents aspects of Jaina Philosophy for the first time in one volume. Contributions are divided in two general types, theoretical, interpretive Essays and the practical i.e., the contributions of Jaina philosophy to moral phenomena. The essays are expected to help the reader to see that Jainism is not a Religion that is to be preached but a philosophy and way of life, which needs to be lived through. In presenting this Anthology to the readers we welcome them to a wide and open arena of thought, and we do hope them to realize that Jainism does not deserve to be forgotten, and does deserve a Philosophical hearing in respect of our judgements of life and existence.
