Abstract

The Jainas used variations of the pan-Indian sets of dialectical, epistemological, and logical principles in order to justify their ontological and soteriological convictions. The article analyses the application of logical principles in an ontological argument of a Jaina Digambara author. After the explication of the ontological aspect of the argumentation, central logical principles are examined against the backdrop of their definitions in Digambara Sanskrit works.
