About Professor Asanga Thilakaratne

I have been teaching subjects related to philosophy, logic and critical thinking and Buddhist philosophy since 1986 from when I first joined the University of Hawaii, Department of Philosophy as a PhD student. During 1984-86, I completed my Masters as a Grantee of East West Center and during these two years my teaching career was interrupted. Ever since I joined the Department of Philosophy as a Graduate Student I have been first teaching as a Teaching Assistant and since 1989 (till 1992 July) I was teaching undergraduate courses both at University of Hawaii, Philosophy and Religion Departments and at Chaminade University, Hawaii. I joined Postgraduate Institute of Pali and Buddhist Studies in July 1992 as a Senior Lecturer and ever since I have been teaching at the Institute uninterrupted (except Sept.1999-Sept.2000 when I was a Senior Commonwealth Fellow at Oxford University, UK). Meanwhile, I have also been teaching intermittently as Visiting Lecturer at University of Ruhuna, Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka,University of Peradeniya and University of Colombo during this period. In the academic year 2007-2008 I was a visiting professor in the Department of Sociology at Yonsei University, Korea. I taught graduate courses on Weber, sociology of religion and Theory of justice and undergraduate courses on South Asia religion.After joining University of Colombo as professor of Pali and Buddhist studies I have been teaching undergraduate courses on Buddhist epistemology, Buddhist logic, ethics and Western philosophy.
