________________
Jainism : Through Science.
XIII The results of the comparision of these different traditions will hardly be acceptable to all. The author, who makes the comparision is proficient in the reflective philosophical tradition. If the reader like me, is a lover of the empirical tradition, he may not fully accept the conclusions of the comparision made by the author. But that does not at all diminish the Importance of these articles.
The reflective tradition is in our cultural heritage. The empirical tradition of science has come to us through the contact with the west. The Indian reader of today is interested in the comparative study of these two traditions. There is no doubt that these articles of Munishri Nandighoshavijayji will go a long way in helping the reader to understand and assimilate these traditions.
