Anekāntavāda And Syādvāda: The Theory Of Syādvāda

We have observed in our discussion on Nayavāda that it is not an absolute means of knowing the nature of reality. The further exami­nation of truth is attempted by the theory of Conditional Dialectic or Syādvāda. The nayavāda is analytical in character, while the Syādvāda is synthetical in method. The latter investigates the various standpoints of the truth made possible by naya and integrates them into a consistent and comprehensive synthesis. It reveals the certainty regarding any problem and not merely the possibility or probability.
