About this ebook
What would it mean to take every living being seriously while accepting that every choice has consequences? This original English introduction follows Mahavira's remembered life, early Jain texts, and the later development of Jain thought through nonviolence, vows, self-restraint, karma, non-possession, and many-sided reasoning. Eighteen chapters connect careful historical reading with invented modern cases about work, food, speech, the environment, and unequal power. Includes a glossary, annotated bibliography, and chapter-to-source map. This is not a translation or an ascetic practice guide.
