Was Mahavir The World’s First Existentialist?
Jainism, a transtheistic philosophy, emphasizes individual effort and self-realization over reliance on a creator god. Mahavir's existential spirituality promotes universal morality, asserting that morality stems from human necessity, not divine decree. His teachings, centered on nonviolence and ethical conduct, advocate for respecting diverse viewpoints and honoring individual conscience as the true guiding force.
