| Abstract | "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."--Back cover |
