Christopher I. Beckwith (born October 23, 1945) is an American philologist and distinguished professor in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University Bloomington , Indiana.[1]
He has a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese from Ohio State University (1968), an Master of Arts in Tibetan from Indiana University Bloomington (1974) and a Doctor of Philosophy in Inner Asian Studies from Indiana University (1977).
Beckwith, a MacArthur Fellow ,[2] is a researcher in the field of Central Eurasian studies. He researches the history and cultures of ancient and medieval Central Asia. Concomitantly he specializes in Asian language studies and linguistics , and in the history of Central Eurasia . He teaches Old Tibetan , Central Eurasian languages, and Central Eurasian history and researches the linguistics of Aramaic , Chinese, Japanese , Koguryo , Old Tibetan, Tokharian , Old Turkic , Uzbek , and other languages.[3] [1]
His best-known works include Greek Buddha: Pyrrho's Encounter with Early Buddhism in Central Asia and Empires of the Silk Road: A History of Central Eurasia from the Bronze Age to the Present. Greek Buddha examines links between very early Buddhism and the philosophy of Pyrrho , an ancient Greek philosopher who accompanied Alexander the Great on his Indian campaign . The book is noted for its challenging and iconoclastic approach to multiple issues in the development of early Buddhism , Pyrrhonism , Daoism , Jainism and the Śramaṇa movement.[4] Empires of the Silk Road is a rethinking of the origins, history, and significance of Central Eurasia.[5] Beckwith's methodologies and interpretations have been criticized by other scholars, such as Johannes Bronkhorst [6] Osmund Bopearachchi [7] Stephen Batchelor [8] and Charles Goodman.[9]
