Asian Religions and Modern Science

[Mahesh]

Hello!

I was wondering where Jainism fits into this. I read in a book that
Buddhists ( during the time Buddha was alive) found that Jains loved to
debate.

How about the science of logic? Logical thought processes that led to
questioning of beliefs, and the concept of objectivity and illusion or
"maya"?
