The concepts of anekāntavāda and syādvāda allow Jains to accept the truth in other philosophies from their own perspective and thus inculcate tolerance for other viewpoints . Anekāntavāda is non @-@ absolutist and stand firmly against all dogmatisms , including any assertion that Jainism is the only correct religious path . It is thus an intellectual ahiṃsā , or ahiṃsā of the mind . Burch write , " Jain logic is intellectual ahiṃsā . Just as a right @-@ acting person respect the life of all beings , so a right @-@ thinking person acknowledge the validity of all judgments . This mean recognizing all aspects of reality , not merely one or some aspects , as is done in non @-@ Jain philosophies . "
