Biography
Anubhav Jain is a PhD researcher at SOAS University of London, specializing in the Philosophy of Soul with a focus on Jaina metaphysical conceptions of soul, non-soul, and their interrelations. Prior to joining SOAS, he pursued advanced studies in India, earning a PG Diploma in Prakrit and a BA in Sanskrit, alongside an MA in Philosophy and a BA in Jaina Studies. He has actively participated in numerous international conferences and has delivered a lecture at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS).
Anubhav Jain is interested in the fields of philosophy, Prakrit language, and Jaina studies. His research engages with some uncharted areas of Jaina philosophy, such as new data on karma theory in the Kundakunda’s literature and other texts such as, Chakkhaṇḍāgama, Dhavalā, Kasāyapāhuḍa, and Jaya-dhavalā. Looking ahead, he aspires to expand his scholarship into the fields of Jaina art, archaeology, and history alongside Jaina studies and philosophy.
