概要：Although rarely acknowledged, Buddhist monastics are among the most active lawmakers and jurists in Asia, operating sophisticated networks of courts and constitutions while also navigating—and shaping—secular legal systems. How do Buddhist monastics deal with this situation of legal pluralism? And what can the lives of Buddhist monks tell us about managing multi-legality in other contexts? Drawing on his new book, Courts, Constitutions and Karma, Schonthal explores these questions in the context of Sri Lanka, while also offering broader reflections on the intersections of Buddhism and law across Asia.
講演者紹介：Benjamin Schonthal is Professor in the Religion Programme and Affiliate Professor in Law at the University of Otago in Aotearoa New Zealand, where he also co-directs the Otago Centre for Law & Society. Schonthal received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago and he has held visiting positions at Northwestern University, the Institute for Advanced Studies (Bielefeld) and the Law School at the University of Chicago. His research examines how religion, law and politics intersect in South and Southeast Asia. His latest book is Courts, Constitutions and Karma (Cambridge University Press, February 2026).
