Syadvada is the epistemology of Jaina philosophy. It is the theory of relativity of knowledge.
It asserts that all knowledge is relative, conditional and partial. which logically implies that all our judgments(naya) are double-edged.
Jain philosophers gives the example of 6 blind men and elephant who touch different parts like ear, leg, trunk, tail etc. and describe elephant as fan, pillar, python, rope etc. So, even though all are correct but their truth is partial truth , half truth.
Exactly 💛👍Syadvada in Janism explains this concept clearly ☺️☺️
