Summary
Anekant is a new political philosophy with ancient spiritual roots.

Critics Review
Aidan Rankin presents the philosophy of Jainism with clarity, insight and relevance to our current global crisis. In so doing he connects us with a spiritual view of pluralism that is as multifaceted as life itself, through which we can bring the cosmic existence into our minds and hearts to widen our vision and let go of all biases. (Dr David Frawley (Pandit Vamadeva Shastri), Director, American Institute of Vedic Studies.) This lucid commentary on Indic wisdom , especially the concept of Anekant, goes a long way in emphasizing the interconnectedness of life as the foundation for an integral environmental ethic. (Dr Swarnalatha Rangarajan, Editor, Indian Journal of Ecocriticism.) An exceptional book - timely and lucidly written. A unique and wise philosophy of healing for an age of intolerance. (Dr Atul K. Shah, CEO Diverse Ethics.)
