Jainism

RE: Jainism
(July 18, 2020 at 7:11 am)ModusPonens1 Wrote: be charitable to Jainist logic


The OP has a passage from Wikipedia on Jain logic. Have you worked on the subject with a teacher, or with serious academic resources? 

If someone's knowledge of any subject begins and ends with Wikipedia, I don't think he has any business being "charitable" to it. You seem to be plugging in more familiar terms in order to make sense of it, but I have no confidence that the terms you're using are applicable, or that your knowledge of the Jain system is extensive enough to pass judgment. For example, do they think of "truth values" in our familiar way when they think of the three types of statements? What is the term in the original language, and what are its nuances? Can we be confident that it is exactly the same as the English term "truth value"? 

Forgive me if I seem strict on this, but we've all seen too many Dawkins-like cases where someone proudly disproves and dismisses a system of thought that he's almost entirely ignorant of, based on wild misinterpretations of what it actually says.
