Abstract
- Jaina philosophy provides a very distinctive account of logic, based on the theory of 'sevenfold predication'. This paper provides a modern formalisation of the logic, using the techniques of many-valued and modal logic. The formalisation is applied, in turn, to some of the more problematic aspects of Jaina philosophy, especially its relativism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
