Role of Space-Time in Jaina's Syadváda
For example the words of Arthur Eddington says : It is not at all necessary that every individual symbol that is used should represent something in common experience or even something explicable to common experience". So in general, I also think that atleast a total mathematical symbol cannot be used to describe universal. Russell considers the class of universals as the class of relations. This helps us to create a spatio-temporal relation. It further maintains the ideas of Logico-Hetero-spatio-temporal continuum.
There are many view points of several thinkers regarding universals. I also consider the class of universals as the class of relations, so I have also made a “logical construct” of equivalence relations regarding universals in general. However let us now discuss the view-point of universals in context of binary relation of space and time.
As we know that space and time are limitness extension. Undoubtedly objective and subject view-points have been opined by various philosophers regarding space and time. Questions like:
"What is time” when actually a foreigner "Means' to ask the question 'what is the time?
Coming back to our discussion of the binary relation of space and time, we notice that most ancient philosophers have considered space (Akasa) and Time (Kala) as a binary relation.
However, I think that Jaines by their Syadvada theory have brought them together in somewhat unary way.
In the 20th century, Einsteins unification of apace and time have been justified. This unificatiun of space and time has been utilised for understanding of physical theories and made a ground for microscopic fields. However this make 'Universals' a spatio-temporal binary relation."
In the last Chapter of this work, the "Logico-spatio Temporal' has brought out a continuum by Logical Manifolds.
