Abstract: | Jaina authors use a pluralistic epistemological model as a tool to claim the superiority of Jainism over the other schools
of Indian thought. In this article the general tendency of the Jaina’s epistemic pluralism is discussed and it is shown how
the Digambara Jaina Vidyānandin tries to establish the Jainas’ pluralism on rational grounds by identifying erroneous epistemic
alternatives through methodological falsification. |
