This course under MA (Master of Arts) Program offers a comparative study of philosophy, focusing on key ideas from Jain, Indian, and Western traditions. It introduces students to the basic concepts of metaphysics (tattva-mīmāṃsā), including the nature of reality such as sat, asat, and sadasat.

The course explores important philosophical themes like the soul, universe, and liberation across Jain, Buddhist, Vaiśeṣika, and Sāṅkhya systems. It also helps students understand major ideas in philosophy such as karma, causation, change, and different theories of reality.

In addition, the course compares Western philosophy with Jain philosophical principles, especially on topics like substance, self, mind–body relation, and pluralism.
