In metaphysics, Jainism recognises a pluralistic realism which is very much influenced from and is akin to the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika theory of Hindu Philosophy. The Doctrine of Syād-vāda (may be or may not be) or the seven methods of predication (sapta-bhaṅgi-nyāya) gives Jain philosophy a scientific and a rational approach by which knowledge is characterised as a synthetic approach.
