The myth of the opposition between Indian "thought" and western "philosophy" Two of the best Indianists in the Spanish language develop a revolutionary thesis in this book. According to Fernando Tola and Carmen Dragonetti there are great thematic and methodological similarities between the philosophies of India and those of Greece and Europe, at least until the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries. Both in one space and in the other, philosophy reached some of its deepest dimensions and provided several of its most brilliant thinkers. Likewise, both worlds have shared pairs manifestations of irrationality, fantasy, lack of freedom of thought and absence of the search for knowledge by itself. For all this, and against the opinion of Hegel, the authors maintain that Philosophy existed in India, as in the West. Philosophy - and not mere "thought" - with the same expectations and the same deficiencies. As the foundation of their thesis, they present numerous original texts from India and Europe in their original languages ​​(Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, English, French, German, Italian) and in their Spanish translation. The result is a systematic exposition of the thought of the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Vedānta and the Sāmkhya. A rigorous and much needed work, which provides - at last - a fair recognition of the philosophical tradition of India.
