Anekāntavāda, “non-one-sidedness”, holds that every thing has countless attributes, and that each philosophical view captures only some of them. Jains illustrate it with the blind men and the elephant. The doctrine is an intellectual form of ahiṃsā: it counsels humility and charity toward other views, which are partly true rather than simply false.
