Daniele Cuneo is a lecturer ('maître de conférences') in Sanskrit and Indian Civilization at the Université Sorbonne nouvelle, Paris. After obtaining his Ph.D. from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” on Indian aesthetic theories, he worked at the Vienna University on Sanskrit Logic, at the Cambridge University in a project on Manuscript Studies, and at the Leiden University as Sanskrit Lecturer. His main areas of expertise are Sanskrit philosophy of language and aesthetic thought, but his research branches out into epistemological and metaphysical disputes among Brahmins, Buddhists and Jains as well as their possible bearing on contemporary philosophical questions.
