Anekantvad and its Importance in Life
Part-II
Its importance in day to day affairs of life:
Anekant is the bedrock of Jain philosophy of behaviorism and the panacea for every type of social or individual maladies followed. It teaches us to take into consideration all possible aspects of a thing or ieda before arriving at a judgment about it. It therefore requires us to understand and appreciate the contrary view point to find out why and how of it, so that we can accept the same wholly or partially or find out grounds for its rejection.
Its utility for easing tensions in our day to day
