Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c3.3

c3.3

Another reason for such misapprehension is the fact that Jainism is a purely Indian form of cultural growth, and Westerners failed to find in it any philosophical ideas which they could link on to their own problems. Dr. Law’s work now allows us to approach the subject as a whole and from an Indian standpoint. He gives a picture of the material, but it is still material that needs much study and analysis, for it brings into prominence many of the problems that still have to be examined before their place in the history of Indian thought can be fairly judged. From this point of view the calmness and impartiality of Dr. Law’s method will be a great aid to the clearness of treatment required in order to reach assured conclusions.
