Berger, Jesse
- Abstract
The author defends the theory of omniscience by monk Kundakunda using formal principles derived from set theory, and mentions discovery of sequential structure of human cognition by mathematician Georg Cantor and Kundakunda. Topics discussed include need of Jains to accept interpretation of omniscience by Kundakunda, understanding of omniscience endorsing runs through Jainism, and doctrine of vyavahāranaya put forward by Kundakunda.
