Microcosmology: Atom In Jain Philosophy & Modern Science: [2.1.16] Atom In Jain Philosophy - Metaphysical View - 6 Universal Qualities - 4. Objectivity (Prameyatva)

By the virtue of this quality, a substance can become an object of knowledge. The Jains are realists and not idealists. A substance is a real and a constituent of the Universal Reality. This quality i.e. prameyatva enables the substance to be an objective reality. Realism of Jains has already been discussed earlier.
