Frases de Chárvaka

Chárvaka fue un filósofo materialista indio, que fundó una escuela de filosofía abiertamente ateísta y empírica llamada lokaiata , que tuvo seguidores por lo menos hasta 1578.



cārvāka en AITS

चार्वाक, en letra devanagari

Pronunciación: /chárvaka/.Escribió el texto en sánscrito Barjaspatia-sutra donde critica las doctrinas hinduistas .

Su obra fue prohibida por varios monarcas religiosos, y finalmente el movimiento generado por su filosofía desapareció en algún momento después del s. XIII. El contenido de su doctrina ha sobrevivido a través de textos jainistas, budistas e hinduistas.

Chárvaka, escéptico respecto a los dogmas védicos, veía el mundo como algo cambiante y fortuito y consideraba que la meta de la humanidad era la búsqueda de la felicidad y la supresión pragmática del sufrimiento.

La doctrina chárvaka de materialismo ateo indio probablemente es la que mejor representa una escuela pura de tal ateísmo entre todas las doctrinas hindúes. Algunos textos teístas críticos se refieren a un filósofo llamado Chárvaka Muni, que comenzó su escuela de materialismo extremo. Wikipedia

Chárvaka: Frases en inglés

“In fact, the Lokayata operated and developed as a tradition of universal criticism or negativism, without caring to evolve a durable or regular life-order, a socio-cultural order, of its own, with the result that it failed to commend itself to society at large. No wonder that a branch of the Lokayata, the Nilapata school, so called because its members dressed in blue, were responsible for inception of what may be called an inculture, a tradition of wanton living, about which it is said:…That is: ‘How can the Nilapata feel happy till rivers begins to overflow with wine, the mountains are made of meat, and the world is full of women?”

Harsh Narain, Myths of Composite Culture and Equality of Religions (1990) (quoting Puratanaprabandhasangraha)

“The Lokayata is not an Agama. viz. not a guide to cultural living, not a system of do's and don’ts; hence it is nothing but irresponsible wrangling.”

Jayanta Bhatta, quoted from Harsh Narain, Myths of Composite Culture and Equality of Religions (1990)

“In every country and every human breast there is a natural desire to find a stable equilibrium — something that does not change. We cannot find it in nature, for all the universe is nothing but an infinite mass of changes. But to infer from that that nothing unchanging exists is to fall into the error of the Southern school of Buddhists and the Chârvâkas, which latter believe that all is matter and nothing mind, that all religion is a cheat, and morality and goodness, useless superstitions.”

“Chârvâkas, a very ancient sect in India, were rank materialists. They have died out now, and most of their books are lost. They claimed that the soul, being the product of the body and its forces, died with it; that there was no proof of its further existence. They denied inferential knowledge accepting only perception by the senses.”

“There were the Chârvâkas, who preached horrible things, the most rank, undisguised materialism, such as in the nineteenth century they dare not openly preach. These Charvakas were allowed to preach from temple to temple, and city to city, that religion was all nonsense, that it was priestcraft, that the Vedas were the words and writings of fools, rogues, and demons, and that there was neither God nor an eternal soul. If there was a soul, why did it not come back after death drawn by the love of wife and child. Their idea was that if there was a soul it must still love after death, and want good things to eat and nice dress. Yet no one hurt these Charvakas.”
