 Anekāntavāda is also different from moral relativism . It does not mean <unk> that all arguments and all views are equal , but rather logic and evidence determine which views are true , in what respect and to what extent ( as truth in relativism , itself ) . While employing anekāntavāda , the 17th century philosopher monk , <unk> <unk> also <unk> against <unk> ( indiscriminate attachment to all views as being true ) , which is effectively a kind of <unk> relativism . Jains thus consider anekāntavāda as a positive concept corresponding to religious pluralism that <unk> monism and dualism , implying a sophisticated conception of a complex reality . It does not merely involve rejection of <unk> , but reflects a positive spirit of reconciliation of opposite views . However , it is argued that pluralism often <unk> to some form of moral relativism or religious <unk> . According to Anne <unk> , anekānta is a way out of this epistemological <unk> , as it makes a genuinely <unk> view possible without <unk> into extreme moral relativism or exclusivity .
