Senior postdoctoral research with field researches in India and Japan. Project Summary, Dr. Evandro Vieira Ouriques / Núcleo de Teoria e Terapia Psicopolítica / Escola de Comunicação Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, with Dr. Bruno Cany and Dr. Jacques Poulain / Laboratoire d’études et de recherches sur les logiques contemporaines de philosophie-LLCP Département de Philosophie / University de Paris 8. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to enhance the argument I support with Psychopolitical Theory and Therapy by deepening the dialogue with Jacques Poulain’s thoughts. The dialogue was initiated in 2013, particularly focused on his Philosophical Anthropobiology and the communicational condition of the human being, and the non-duality implicated in it. This exploration is crucial for my argument. To accomplish this, I intend to engage in transcultural dialogue including through field research in India and Japan. The goal is to contribute to de-westernize the West and de-orientalize the Orient, avoiding preconceived notions and exclusionary philosophical perspectives (Ouriques, 2002; 2010; 2016; 2022a; 2022b). One movement involves improving my argument by incorporating even more deeply Poulain's ideas founded on the dialogic imperative of the human condition, as emphasized by Bruno Cany. The other movement entails enhancing the dialogue about what our arguments have in common with the perspective of Oriental philosophy, specifically exploring the non-duality, central to the Upaniṣads, Mahayana Buddhism and the Kyoto School.
This Series was carried out as part of my Senior Postdoctoral Research at the Département de Philosophie / Laboratoire d’études et de recherches sur les logiques contemporaines de philosophie / Université de Paris 8, deepening the relationship between my thinking, the Psychopolitical Theory and Therapy, and the thinking of Jacques Poulain, the Philosophical Anthropobiology, articulating them, from the communicational condition of the human being, with the understanding of Vedānta, Mahayana Buddhism and the Kyoto School on non-duality and its pragmatic therapeutic capacity to transform philosophically, psychopolitically, the suffering existence. Since 2013, Jacques Poulain and I have maintained an intense dialogue, and he has even participated in two of the four International Seminars on Psychopolitical Theory and Therapy, held respectively at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the University of La Frontera / Chile, the University of Porto / Portugal and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata / Argentina. In 2017, I published in the Psychopolitical Theory Collection, which I direct, his book On the Capacity to Judge, Volume II of the Collection, which up to Volume IV has been co-published by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, the University of La Frontera / Chile, the National University of La Plata / Argentine, the University of Porto / Portugal and the University of Groningen / Holanda (https://ufrj.academia.edu/EvandroVieiraOuriques/Colección-Teoría-Psicopolítica).

Indian Philosophy of Mind: A Comparative Study
FALSAFEH ,The Iranian Journal of Philosophy, 2009
In this paper I explore surprising parallels in the arguments between dualists and materialists in the philosophy of mind in India and the West. In particular, I compare the Nyaya School of India with Cartesian dualism and its Western defenders and the Carvaka School of India with contemporary Western materialists.
HUM-528 Truth and Knowledge in Indian Philosophy (MA) 2019
How do we know and how do we know that we know? How do we know the process of knowing? What are the basic elements involved in the process of knowing? How do we decide that our object of knowledge is True and not an Error or an Error? What is the nature of Valid Knowledge and how are the ideas of Truth and Error related to it? This course will investigate these questions seeking an answer from classical Indian philosophical knowledge systems. The two main domains of study covered would be within the realm of metaphysical and epistemological problems.
Discoursing Communication from the Perspective of Mainstream Hindu Philosophy
This article presents an appraisal of the discourses on communication from the perspective of maninstream Hindu philosophy. Communication theory has been witnessing a paradigm shift thereby promoting theorization of communication from multicultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. Such endeavors have forwarded the discourse of communication from Asian and Hindu perspective too. However, most of the mainstream Hindu philosophies are still unexplored by the communication scholars.
PHI-322 Non-dual Epistemology (BA) 2019
This course will closely investigate one of the major currents of the classical Indian non-realistic (Idealistic) school/s viz. the non-dualistic or Advaita Vedānta through its textual sources. One of the champions of non-realistic and non-dualistic philosophical systems in pre-modern South Asia has been Śaṅkara (or Śaṃkara, c. 8th century CE). His non-dualistic Vedanta comprehends both the last major portion of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and their systematization in the terse Brahma-Sūtras. As the author of the first extant commentary on these sutras and other core Vedanta texts, including the Bhagavad Gita, Śaṅkara largely set the terms for later debates among the exponents of different theological positions within the broader Vedanta tradition. Due to his insistence on the ultimate non-difference (advaita) of the highest brahman and the innermost self (ātman) of each and every conscious being, Śaṅkara has often been labeled as a "Buddhist in disguise" by theist Vedantins and other rivals; yet, in later hagiographical traditions, he is credited with defeating many Buddhist opponents and contributing to its disappearance from the subcontinent. The first half of the course will investigate the non-dual Vedānta epistemology largely focusing on the works of Śaṅkara. The prescribed readings will set the tone for our investigation into the Advaita epistemology exploring how Śaṅkara maps the discourse about true cognition versus false cognition. This will gradually pave a way for the investigation of a 17th century Advaita-Vedānta text titled the Vedānta Paribhāṣā by Dharmaraja Adhvarindra. The latter half of the course will follow the close reading of this text in translation. This course will focus on the following objectives:-Provide a coherent understanding of non-dual epistemology in classical Indian philosophy.-Critically evaluate the major theoretical perspectives and debates on Indian epistemology.-Highlight the major thinkers in non-dual tradition of Vedānta.
