Article Title：Jaśkowski and the Jains

Abstract：
In 1948 Jaskowski introduced the first discussive logic. The main technical idea was to take what holds to be what is true at some possible world. Some 2,000 years earlier, Jain philosophers had advocated a similar idea, in their doctrine of syadvada. Of course, these philosophers had no knowledge of contemporary logical notions; but the techniques pioneered by Jaskowski can be deployed to make the Jain ideas mathematically precise. Moreover, Jain ideas suggest a new family of many-valued discussive logics. In this paper, I will explain all these matters.
