________________ JETLY: HISTORICAL POSITION OF JAINISM responsible for giving his school the name and character of Anekantavada and Syadvada. The essence of these Vadas lies in harmonising the different ways of thought by regarding them as so many different points of viewing reality and grasping truth. This character of Jainism explains why throughout its history it has always studied carefully the religio-philosophical ideas of other schools and developed the Anekanta doctrine in relation to the growth of various Darsanas.
