Grécia e Índia: Aristóteles e ŚaṄkarācārya nos caminhos de uma filosofiasoteriológica

Abstract

This dissertation aims to promote a dialogue between the Greek tradition, represented by the Aristotle’s Lyceum philosophical project and the Indian philosophy of the Upaniṣads, represented by the Śaṅkarācārya’s Advaita Vedānta School. The methodological reasons for this proposal rises and grows with a philosophy that allows an organic articulation between reason and soteriology, on the one hand translated by the Greek expressions wisdom (sophía) and happiness (eudaimonia) and, on the other hand, translated by the Sanskrit expressions, knowledge of wholeness (brahmavidyā) and bliss (ānanda). What we seek to highlight, with this, is the decisive role of reason and knowledge for the soteriological process.
