Mahatma Gandhi mentioned Anekantavada and Syadvada in the journal '' Young India – 21 Jan 1926 '' . According to Jeffery D. Long – a scholar of Hindu and Jain studies , the Jain Syadvada doctrine helped Gandhi explain how he reconciled his commitment to the " reality of both the personal and impersonal aspects of Brahman " , and his view of " Hindu religious pluralism " : Referring to the September 11 attacks , John Koller states that the threat to life from religious violence in modern society mainly exists due to faulty epistemology and metaphysics as well as faulty ethics . A failure to respect the life of other human beings and other life forms , states Koller , is " rooted in dogmatic but mistaken knowledge claims that fail to recognize other legitimate perspectives " . Koller states that '' anekāntavāda '' is a Jain doctrine that each side commit to accepting truths of multiple perspectives , dialogue and negotiations
