Anekāntavāda And Syādvāda: Section I @ HereNow4U

Syādvāda is a cardinal Jain^[1] doctrine 'to which the Jains attach so much importance that this name frequently is used as a synonym for the Jain system itself.^[2] The doctrine is thus often explained in modern expositions of Jainism or Jain philosophy.^[3] The purpose of this paper is to critically examine some of these presentations.
