Satkari MOOKERJEE-The Jaina Philosophy of Non-Absolutism, Calcutta, 1944,
P. xxii-+-323.
In this book the author has discussed at length the Jaina philosophy of 'NonAbsolutism (Anekäntavada) with his philosophical insight, logical analysis and critical exposition. It reveals an ideology entirely different from the Vedic. It is not an exhaustive account of Jaina thought, but an analytical studo of its foundation. Jaina philosophy is frankly realistic and so stands in a close relation of kinship to the Nyaya, Mimänsä and Sankhya system of thought.
Contents: Ch.I. The logical Background of Jaina philosophy.
Ch. II. Non-Absolutism-an absolute real can neither be a cause nor an effect; the Jaina solves the difficulty by means of anekanta, Vedänta, Sänkhya, Mimämsä and Carvāka system discussed in relation to Jain Philosophy.
Ch. III. Numerical difference and Absolute non-existence Vedäntist, Buddhist, Sünyavädin and Jaina view discussed; Nagarjuna on Sankhya and Nyaya theories and the Jaina solution; Jaina position compared and contrasted with other
systems.
