FOREWORD
The present volume of the Jaina Theory of Multiple Facets of Reality and Truth (Anekāntavāda) does not need any further introduction, than the one written by Dr. Nagin J. Shah. He has taken pains to edit the articles submitted at the Seminar on Jain Logic and Epistemology', organised by the BLII, in 1990, under the stewardship of the late Dr. B.K. Matilal, Emeritus Professor, at Oxford, U.K.
The BLII is extremely happy that the matter is now going to the press. We are grateful to Dr. Nagin J. Shah to have taken up this onerous task and completed it much sooner than expected, with the addition of 2 more important articles of Dr. K.C. Bhattacharya and Atsushi Uno (Japanese scholar) without which this volume would have remained incomplete.
Dr. Nagin J. Shah's scholarly introduction is another valuable addition to this volume.
Hope, the publication, though delayed by so many years, will find the place it deserves, in the hearts and minds of the inquisitive readers.
