11th Jaina Studies Workshop At SOAS - Jaina Scriptures And Philosophy
March 12-13, 2009
Jaina Scriptures And PhilosophyResearch on the Jaina Agamas, once the main domain of Jainology and Prakrit Studies, has become rare nowadays, while studies of Jaina philosophy and religion based on sources in Sanskrit, Middle and New-Indo-Aryan languages are increasing. The conference seeks to reconnect research on canonical and non-canonical sources and their uses. Contributions are invited on Jaina scriptures and philosophy.
