This work includes the literature of Svetambara and Digambara Jainas that has been favourable to the growth of religion and philosophies. The doctrines of the Ajiviyas are the best known heresy to the Nirgranthas. Judging from the frequency of their appearance and the vehemence with care, the author has found that the doctrines of the Ajiviyas played an important role in the life of the Jainas. About the cult of popular Brahmanism, the author has found many references in Jaina literature that have root basis of different schools such as Samkhya and Yoga, Sasvatavadins, Puranists, the Upanisads and minor schools. The Madhyamika schools of the Buddhists and the popular Malayavada which arose as an offshoot of Vedanta owe their origin probably to this school which is met here in the literature of the Jainas for the first time in the history of Indian philosophical thought. The philosophy of the Nastikas or those who deny the existence of the soul was well-known to the Jainas. There is a reference to those who ignore and deny the tenets of the Nirgranthas which Silanka understands as an allusion to the Buddhists and the followers of Brhaspati, the latter being a well-known school of the Nastikas. The philosophical schools mentioned in the Jaina canonical literature were comprehended by Mahavira under heads such as Kriyavada, Akriyavada, Ajnanavada and Vinayavada. Kriya admits the existence of Jiva called Kriyavada, while Akriyavada denies the existence of the soul. The Ajnanavadins deny the necessity or importance of knowledge whereas the Vinayavadins do not accept signs, external rules of ceremony, and scriptures but uphold the supremacy of reference as the cardinal virtue leading to perfection. Besides the philosophical schools, the literature of the Jainas has included interesting information regarding various kinds of religious sects, schismatic schools among Nirgranthas and their criticism.

The last ten years have seen interest in Jainism increasing, with this previously little-known Indian religion assuming a significant place in religious studies. Studies in Jaina History and Culture breaks new ground by investigating the doctrinal differences and debates amongst the Jains rather than presenting Jainism as a seamless whole whose doctrinal core has remained virtually unchanged throughout its long history. The focus of the book is the discourse concerning orthodoxy and heresy in the Jaina tradition, the question of omniscience and Jaina logic, role models for women and female identity, Jaina schools and sects, religious property, law and ethics. The internal diversity of the Jaina tradition and Jain techniques of living with diversity are explored from an interdisciplinary point of view by fifteen leading scholars in Jaina studies. The contributors focus on the principal social units of the tradition: the schools, movements, sects and orders, rather than Jain religious culture in abstract. Peter Flügel provides a representative snapshot of the current state of Jaina studies that will interest students and academics involved in the study of religion or South Asian cultures.
