title: Jain Anekantavada Multi-View Dialogue
description: >-
A Jain practice of dialogue grounded in anekantavada — the doctrine that
truth has many aspects — in which disputants present and hold each
other's views as partially true, rather than as wholly wrong. Rooted in
Jain philosophy dating to ancient India, formalised in the
syadvada method of seven-fold predication.

steps:
- headline: Present one's view
description: >-
Each disputant presents their view fully, without interruption. The
other listens as if it may be true, not as if it is wrong.
- headline: Acknowledge partial truth
description: >-
Each party acknowledges the partial truth in the other's view —
"from one perspective, what you say is so." No view is held as the
whole truth.
- headline: Use syadvada predication
description: >-
Each proposition is considered from seven standpoints: in one way it
is; in one way it is not; in one way it is and is not; in one way it
is inexpressible; and combinations thereof. This surfaces the
limits of each view.
- headline: Hold the multi-view
description: >-
Rather than collapse to one view, the dialogue holds the multiple
perspectives as each partially true. The resolution is not
synthesis but coexistence.
- headline: Act with humility
description: >-
Any action taken proceeds with the acknowledgment that the view it
rests on is partial, not absolute. Dogmatism is the failure mode.
outcome: >-
A dialogue concludes with each view held as partially true, and action
taken with the humility that no single view captures the whole.
practice: >-
The discipline is to genuinely hold the other's view as possibly true,
not to perform it. If you cannot find the partial truth in the other's
view, you have not yet understood it.
