THE JAINA PHILOSOPHY way to truth' Insisting that there is also 'spiritual knowledge and power besides reason, Theodore Roszak pleads for a return of submerged religious sensitivities 'Here is a range of experience that we are screening out of our experience in the name of what we call knowledge' says Roszak The late psychologist Abraham Maslow said that we have learned to think of knowledge as verbal, rational, logical and sensible but transcendental experience is equally important"
And so, perhaps this is the most appropriate time to make an attempt to compare the findings of philosophical enquiry with the results of scientific pursuit "In the history of human thinking” says Werner Heisenberg, "new, interesting and the most fruitful developments frequently take place when two different lines of thought-lines having their roots in quite different parts of human culture, in different times, or different religious traditions-meet", - and mutually interact Synchronising the presentations of scientific facts with that of philosophical findings is, however, a very difficult task The water may “either succeed in being intelligible by offering only superficial aspects of the problem and thus arousing in the reader the deceptive illusion of comprehension or give an account in such a fashion that the reader is unable to follow the exposition and becomes discouraged from reading any further "s] do not know whether I have been successful in making this presentation both readable and intelligble, the reader who honours me by perusing my humble effort has to decide this for himself I have derived much assistance from the following publications for compiling this monograph 4.
