Soteriology in Early Jainism
tion a few distinctions which cannot be ignored in such studies. There is a difference between early and late Jainism, between practical and speculative ethics, and between deontic ethics and aretaics. We have also to distinguish between purely spiritual value systems (dogmatic tradition) and mixed systems (practical compromises between spiritual and secular attitudes). Finally, it is necessary to distinguish (1) between casuistry and general injunctions, and (11) between particularized virtues and general virtues (variety as opposed to unity). But since Jainism is, in spite of its diversity and complexity, a limited area it should not be impossible to undertage a systematic study of the history of Jaina ethics.
