- Jain karma theory and its role in shaping destiny
- Buddhist perspective on conditioned will and karmic determinism
- The five co-factors (pañca-samavāya) in Jainism: kāla (time), svabhāva (nature), niyati (fate), pūrvakṛta (past actions), and puruṣa (individual effort)
- A comparative study of Buddhist, Jain, and Ajivaka perspectives on determinism
Who Should Read This Book?

- Researchers in metaphysics, free will, and determinism
