The Jaina world of Non-living
8. This theory of multi-aspectal considerations has been subject to criticism by many old and new scholars of repute during the ages. However, the theory of relativity has given it a solid logical and verifiable ground. The principle of uncertainty is nothing but the predicate of indescribability. It is now confirmed that the micro-world is full of contradictory aspects such as - (i) light or any other form of energy has a corpuscular as well as wave nature (ii) the electrons also face the same fate (iii) we are observing the past in present as light takes some time to come to us while coming from the object (iv) both the concepts of geocentricity and heliocentricity are reasonable with specific aspects (v) we have different body weight at different places (vi) Newtonian laws are correct with reference to macro-world. The realativity theory is correct for both- the macro and micro world. Thus, it is a part of it. 9. The theory of multi-aspectal considerations has three popular names- Syād-vāda (aspectal statements), Anekāntavāda (multi-aspectal theory) and Sapta-bhangi-vada (theory of Septadic statements). On the basis of conceptualism, it may be called the theory of relativism to distinguish it with the theory of Relativity. It will avoid confusion. In fact, the theory of relativity should be taken as an extension of philosophical theory to world of physical sciences where credibility is dependent upon verifiability. 10. The concept of primary and secondary type of treatment is highly practical for life in general. It allows all to presume all systems as partial truth, and, thus, develops tolerance and mental accommodation capacity for a smooth private and public life. 11. Currently, an effort is going on to extend and apply this concept to all walks of complex life of today just as management, industrial disputes, legal practices, personal and psychological development and so on. The practice of this theory makes one wiser. Q. The existence is dependent upon many standpoints. On this basis, the production of aggregates by the three methods as in 5.26 is justified. The question is whether the aggregates are produced only by association etc. or there is some more fundamental cause for their formation.
