WORDS OF WELCOME
I feel very happy to welcome the Publication of a book on JAINISM—“NYAYA and JAINA EPISTEMOLOGY” (A study in retrospect-A critical and comparative study) by Prof. (Dr.) Kokila Hemchand Shah.
Dr. Kokila Shah is an ardent scholar of Jaina Philosophy and this book bears the stamp of her erudition.
Jainism is perhaps the most scientific religion and a rational system of Philosophy in the world. It has its followers not only in India, but all over the world.
The new generation of Jainas who do not learn their mother tongue will be immensely benefited and enlightened by this book. Similarly, the book will be useful to non-Jainas living in India and abroad to understand and appreciate very subtle features of Jaina Philosophy and its unique relativistic Epistemology.
This book is an important addition in the field of Comparative Philosophy. I congratulate Dr. Kokila and welcome this book as a valuable contribution to the literature of Philosophy
