Among the non-brahmanical renunciant communities that flourished in the area of the Ganges River, such as the Buddhists and Ajivikas, only the Jains have maintained an unbroken presence on the Indian subcontinent with a fourfold community of monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy and social history of Jainism, including its principal schools and sectarian traditions, its monastic and lay communities, as well as ethics, ritual, and art. We will learn about the lives of Mahavira and other Jinas who, after attaining enlightenment, teach others the path to salvation (moksha).
