O amor advaita como caminho para o Diálogo Inter-Religioso na perspectiva de Raimon Panikkar

Abstract

Raimon Panikkar (1918-2010) was one of the main exponents of the interreligious dialogue. This article investigates how the Hinduism’s advaitic perspective is present in Panikkar’s thought, as what he calls “advaitic love” and, therefore, constitutes a way of building the interreligious dialogue. For such, we contextualize the advaita and its use by the author in his theory of a cosmotheandric vision, based in the Christian Trinity, in his concept of Christophany, and in his understanding of the Religious Pluralism Theology, through a “pluralistic attitude”. We identify, then, the advaita in his theory of the intra-religious dialogue, encountering the other in oneself through the “advaitic love”, in a pilgrimage that takes place in the human being’s interiority, parallel to the interreligious dialogue. This is theoretical research, through a critical-analytical methodological perspective, in view of its apllication in the interreligious dialogue, based in Panikkar’s bibliography.
