Jain Metaphysics is known as

  • A.Idealistic Pluralism
  • B.Realistic Pluralism
  • C.Idealistic Monism
  • D.Realistic Monism

Answer: B

Jain metaphysics is known as realistic pluralism. It holds that the world is real and independent of the mind and is made of many substances, the souls (jiva) and the non-souls (ajiva) such as matter, space and time.

It is not idealistic, since it does not say that reality is only mind, and it is not monistic, since it does not reduce all things to one substance.

Its pluralism lies in the many eternal souls and the many kinds of matter that it accepts.
