Publisher's Note
The present title 'Applied Philosophy of Jainism' is a compilation of the three important articles authored by Prof. Sagarmal Jain. It mainly deals with the three major tenets of Jainism, i.e. Non-violence (ahiṁsā), Non-absolutism (Anekānta) and Non-possession (Aparigraha). These three doctrines are the back-bone of the Jaina Ethics. Applying these three doctrines in day-to-day life and translating it into action, all the problems the individual and the world is facing today, can be soved in a better way. Prof. Jain has covered these three major doctrines under the umbrella of Applied Philosophy' and accordingly has titled this work 'Applied Philosophy of Janism'. Applied philosophy represents the claim that it is possible to build a bridge between the theory and practice. Apart from being a cluster of theories, philosophy can play a vital role in public debate also. Applied philosophy is concerned with the practical aspect of the philosophy or how the philosophy can be applied in one's day-to-day life. Accordingly, 'Applied Philosophy of Jainism' is concerned with applying these major Jaina doctrines in practice to benefit the individual and society as well. Prof. Sagarmal Ji Jain is a great scholar of Jainism. In fact he has virtually applied Jaina philosophy in his life. Since long he is engaged in writing article, books and monographs on Jainism. We are very thankful to Prof. Sagarmal Jain for entrusting this work to us for publication.
