Description

Johannes Bronkhorst, professor of Sanskrit and Indian Studies at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, from 1987 to 2011, undoubtedly belongs to the most talented and significant indologists of the last three decades.

His abundant work testifies to an unparalleled range of interests from early Buddhism to grammar, mathematics to asceticism, philosophy to archaeology, and is characterized by the determination to challenge preconceived ideas, clichÃ©s and traditional (mis)constructs. The present felicitation volume includes thirty-two essays by some of the finest scholars in the field of indology, which reflect Johannes Bronkhorstâ€™s main scholarly contributions: Grammar, Philosophy, Vedic Studies, Buddhism and Jainism, DharmaÅ›Ästra and ArthaÅ›Ästra, Epics and PurÄá¹‡as.

It presents an almost complete spectrum of the intellectual and spiritual pursuits and speculations in Ancient India, and will be of inestimable value to the specialists of all fields of Indology.

The volume also includes a presentation of Johannes Bronkhorstâ€™s academic career and contribution to Indian Studies by Jan E.M.

Houben, and an ongoing bibliography of his work.
