The problem of idealism versus realism is one of the most fascinating problems in epistemology. The present thesis is an attempt to discuss epistemological problems of Nyaya and Jaina schools of thought. Jainism has a unique virtue of being a purely realistic system. Nyaya while clearly containing realistic elements, in the end falls short of fullfledged realism. Jaina realism successfully refutes agnosticism with the help of its concept of 'Omniscience.'The second part of the book deals with Jaina Logic. Anekantavada with its two methods of Nayavada and Syadvada complements Jaina realism. Relativistic Epistemology to which Jainism is committed can give realism an adequate basis. It reveals many interesting facts about knowledge hitherto unknown. the uniqueness of Jaina realism must be recognised. Because of its non-absolutistic standpoint, Jaina realism presents itself as the significant form of epistemological realism which has no exact parallel in any system of thought.
