them in proper perspective. Instead of searching for similarities one should rather, in the manner of Wittgenstein, search for differences. Any way, the contributions to this section are very inspiring to the students of Jaina logic.
The third part of the proceedings consists of Jaina ethics and religion. Unfortunately, in this section there are only four papers by three authors: Prof. T. S. Kalghatgi, Prof. K. C. Sogani and Prof. D. D. Malvania. Prof. Malvania is a great authority in Jainology but he has only presented two small notes on Jaina theory of symbols and Jaina mythology. Of course, even then, they are very valuable. Prof. Kalghatgi and Prof. Sogani are Jaina scholars but they are primarily Professors of Philosophy. Their effort is to put Jaina thought in western ethical idiom. Both these papers are very important.
I hope that this compilation would be useful to the students of Jainology and would be well received by the general reader.
