Significance of Other qualities
The term "Other qualities" in various philosophical contexts highlights different attributes that go beyond the primary characteristics of objects or souls. In Jainism, it encompasses existence, permanence, and spatial points pertaining to both souls and non-souls. Vaishnavism sees these as minor characteristics compared to Krishna, while Vyakarana describes them as additional traits beyond those linked to senses. In Vedanta, Other qualities point to distinct attributes that underline the Self's separation. Dharmashastra and Vaisheshika further explore attributes that supplement foundational qualities in individuals and objects, respectively.
