Alexis Sanderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexis G.J.S. Sanderson is the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics (since 1992) and a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford University. He is a Sanskritist and scholar of Indian religions, especially of Shaivism and esoteric Shaiva Tantra (commonly known as Kashmir Shaivism, though this is something of a misnomer). He has written over a thousand pages of articles, most of which can be difficult to obtain in print form. Sanderson's published work is of a sufficiently high calibre of scholarly rigor and accuracy that it has contributed to his reputation, amongst European Indologists and a handful of American scholars, as one of the finest living Sanskritists and a preeminent scholar of the Shaiva religion.^[1]
