It refers to the doctrine of the six substances. The style that comes under it, characterized by sameness and distinctness, seems to reflect the style of the Vaisheshika philosophy. However, the concepts of dharma and adharma as substances have not been envisioned by any other philosopher, and the essence of Jain philosophy is fundamentally different from all other philosophies. Nevertheless, many aspects related to the self and pudgala have considerable similarity with Vaisheshika and Sankhya, among others. Like Jainism, the Nyaya, Vaisheshika, and Sankhya philosophies are also pluralistic regarding the self. The step-wise approach of Jain philosophy gives an impression of the convergence of atomism of Vaisheshika and the naturalism of Sankhya, as it presents a dualistic view of beginning and end. On one hand, in Tattvartha, there is an eleventh mention of the position that treats time as a substance.| SR No. | 001074 |
