Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c3.1

c3.1

The present work by Dr. B. C. Law is to be welcomed from two points of view. It gives a clear analysis of the principal canonical texts of the Jains, but it is also a contribution to the much wider question of the growth and ramifications of Indian philosophical and religious conceptions. To give an impartial and balanced description of these is impossible without duly considering the separate directions in which the many thinkers of India have sought a solution of their problems, and the share which Jainism has contributed has not yet been weighed or even fully examined.
