Johannes Bronkhorst did his Indological studies in India, where he obtained his first doctorate (Pune 1979). He did a second doctorate in Leiden (1980), and was appointed Professor of Sanskrit and Indian studies at the University of Lausanne in 1987, where he taught until 2011. Some of his recent books are Greater Magadha: Studies in the Culture of Early India (Brill 2007), Buddhist Teaching in India (Wisdom Publications 2009), Buddhism in the Shadow of Brahmanism (Brill 2011), Language and Reality: On an Episode in Indian Thought (Brill 2011) and Karma (University of Hawai’I Press 2011). Bronkhorst has been concentrating on the history of Indian thought in the broadest sense, but has in recent years also tried to get a clearer picture of the circumstances in which these forms of thought could arise and develop.
