The Metaphysics of Paradox: Jainism, Absolute Relativity, and Religious Pluralism (Explorations in Indic Traditions: Theological, Ethical, and Philosophical)

This book is an exploration into the paradoxical structure of pluralistic thinking as illuminated by both Western and Eastern insights―especially Jainism. By calling into question the most fundamental assumptions of religious pluralists, the author hopes to contribute to a paradigm shift in discourse on religious pluralism and conflicting truth claims.
