Review

This submission presents a unique challenge for review, given the complete absence of an abstract. The title, "Johannes Bronkhorst (1946–2025)," strongly suggests an obituary, memorial, or biographical tribute to a scholar. However, the future-dated death year "2025" is highly unusual and immediately raises questions about the article's nature: is it a predictive or anticipatory memorial, a speculative piece, or simply a typographical error in the title? Without any further context or summary, the precise intent and publication timing of such a piece are entirely obscure, preventing an initial assessment of its relevance or scholarly contribution. The lack of an abstract fundamentally hinders any meaningful peer review. An abstract is the critical gateway for readers and reviewers, providing an immediate overview of the article's scope, main arguments, key findings, and methodological approach. For a biographical or memorial piece, an abstract would typically outline Bronkhorst's major academic contributions, his field of expertise (e.g., Indology, Sanskrit, philosophy of language), his most significant publications, and the lasting impact of his work. Without this essential summary, it is impossible to gauge whether the article adequately covers its subject, whether its claims are substantiated, or even what specific aspects of Bronkhorst's career and legacy it intends to highlight. Given these significant limitations, the article, in its current form, is unreviewable for content, accuracy, or scholarly merit. It is imperative that an abstract be provided, clearly outlining the article's purpose, scope, and the main facets of Johannes Bronkhorst's life and work that it addresses. Furthermore, the peculiar "2025" date in the title demands clarification. This issue must be resolved or explained for the article to be considered a viable submission, as it raises concerns about the factual basis and intended context of the piece.
