Anekāntavāda (Sanskrit: अनेकान्तवाद, "many-sidedness") ...The ultimate truth and reality is complex and has multiple aspects.

... According to Jainism, no single, specific statement can describe the nature of existence and the absolute truth. ... All knowledge claims, according to the anekāntavāda doctrine must be qualified in many ways, including being affirmed and denied.[9] Anekāntavāda is a fundamental doctrine of Jainism.

Cort, John (2000). "Intellectual Ahimsa revisited: Jain Tolerance and Intolerance of Others". Philosophy East and West. University of Hawai'i Press. 50 (3): 324–47. JSTOR 1400177.

There is a summary of discussion in Jainism: An Introduction as to whether the interpretation of this as intellectual ahimsa (and/or religious pluralism, tolerance, etc) accurately reflects the historical foundation of anekantavada.

Syādvāda (Sanskrit: स्याद्वाद) is the theory of conditioned predication [1]

seven-valued logic:

  1. Arguably, it (that is, some object) exists (syad asty eva).
  2. Arguably, it does not exist (syan nasty eva).
  3. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it doesn't exist (syad asty eva syan nasty eva).
  4. Arguably, it is non-assertible (syad avaktavyam eva).
  5. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it is non-assertible (syad asty eva syad avaktavyam eva).
  6. Arguably, it doesn't exist; arguably, it is non-assertible (syan nasty eva syad avaktavyam eva).
  7. Arguably, it exists; arguably, it doesn't exist; arguably it is non-assertible (syad asty eva syan nasty eva syad avaktavyam eva).
