Encylopedia of Indian Philosophies
by Dalsukh Malvania and Jayendra Soni and Jayendra Soni

The philosophy of Jainism is the subject of a large body of literature, but a great deal of it consists of standard summary reviews that are not sufficiently accurate to bring out the uniqueness of Jain thought. 

The core thesis of Jain philosophy is that of anekantavada, often rendered as "many-sidedness" for example.  Such a rendering by itself fails to get to the unique contribution of the Jain positions, which is just that every serious account of the world contains elements of truth, but that any single linguistic expression must fail to comprehend all those partially true perspectives or viewpoints, not because those viewpoints are false, but because the complete truth is not consistently expressible in any natural language, since any such expression must necessarily involve contradictions.
