Ten in One
The title refers to an unusual instance of ten occurrences of one stanza in a single philosophical work. The stanza in question highlighted here is the outcome of a previous study on the faults ( doṣas ) levelled against the non-one-sided position of the Jainas, the theory of manifoldness that aims at avoiding any absolutistic standpoint or perspective concerning an object of investigation ( anekāntavāda ). This article draws on a study published…
The Conundrum of Kundakunda’s Status in the Digambara Tradition
Kundakunda’s handling of several basic ideas cannot be omitted when one deals with the following concepts in Jaina philosophy: 1. Sy āt/siya, syādvāda or saptabhaṅgī . 2. Nayas , vyavahāra and niścaya nayas and naya vāda. 3. Sapta and Nava tattvas/padārtha and 4. Anekāntavāda . No doubt his dates are a major conundrum; recent research regards him to have lived around the fourth or fifth centuries (Brill’s Encyclopedia of Jainism, BEJ: Brill’s Enc…
The Concept of Manas in Jaina Philosophy
The first time Umāsvāti uses the word manas in his Tattvārtha-sūtra (TAS), the standard work for matters concerning Jaina philosophy, is when he lists the means of knowledge: mati , śruta , avadhi , manaḥ-paryāya and kevala (TAS 1, 9). These are the pramāṇas (TAS 1, 10). In TAS 1, 14 mati or sense perception is said to be caused by indriya and aninindriya ; Pūjyapāda’s commentary says that anindriya, antaḥ-karaṇa and manas are synonyms. This obvi…
Vidyānandin’s Discussion with the Buddhist on Svasaṃvedana, Pratyakṣa and Pramāṇa
Two of the terms in the title are from Vidyānandin’s Tattvārtha-śloka-vārttika (TAŚV, 1, 6, 11), which is his commentary on Umāsvāti’s Tattvārtha-sūtra (TAS). Sūtra 6 of the TAS states the following: pramāṇa-nayair adhigamaḥ, ‘knowledge—of the seven categories—is obtained through the pramāṇas and the nayas’). Vidyānandin’s commentary on this sūtra 6 entails a total of 56 ślokas, with his own prose vārttika on each of them in varying lengths. TAŚV…
Focus Introduction
The contributors to this focus issue participated in a unique gathering of over sixty scholars in Lukenya, Kenya in January 2009, organized by Globethics.net. The three contributions here by Sumner B. Twiss, Shanta Premawardhana, and Ariane Hentsch Cisneros are not the outcome of the deliberations and discussions there; however, they led to the idea of this focus issue. Each essay incorporates major aspects of the general themes discussed in diff…
