The Jaina Philosophy of Non-Absolutism
of the logical difficulty involved which has led the Vedāntist and the Sūnyavādin to declare the phenomenal world to be an illogical and irrational appearance. We are deliberately of the opinion that the later Jainas have unwittingly played false to their ancient philosophy and we are positive that the older account of universals as given by us is not only in harmony with the philosophy of non-absolutism, but is the only possible account that can be accepted as the correct position. It is fortunate that we have Vimaladása on our side and it is. desirable that students of Jaina philosophy should devote greater attention to him.
