It is natural, in the absence of a commonly accepted criterion of truth, for some people to wonder if any theory could be true at all.[4] The Sceptics specifically pointed to the conflicting theories of atman and the requirement of omniscience, and hence the criticism of omniscience, to obtain true knowledge.[5] A proliferation of view points existed during the period immediately preceding the rise of Buddhism, as attested in the Buddhist and Jain texts. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6549.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6549.txt
