Abstract:
This comparative study seeks to explore the intersections and divergences between the Mandukya Upanishad, an ancient Indian philosophical text, and the existentialist philosophy of 20th-century French philosopher Gabriel Marcel. The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣat, rooted in the Vedantic tradition, delves into the nature of reality and consciousness, emphasizing the significance of the syllable "Om" and the states of consciousness. In contrast, Marcel's existentialist philosophy centers around the lived human experience, concrete existence, and the exploration of transcendence within the realm of personal encounters. Considering the roles of hope and faith in both traditions. Marcel's existentialism emphasizes hope as an essential element in facing the challenges of existence, and this can be compared with the Upanishadic quest for liberation (moksha) and the transformative power of realizing the unity of Atman and Brahman. Through this comparative study, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of the philosophical resonances and distinctions between the Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣat and Gabriel Marcel's existentialist thought, highlighting their contributions to the exploration of consciousness, Inter-Subjectivity, I-Thou and the human experience. Examining how both the Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣat and Marcel's philosophy approach the understanding of consciousness. While the Upanishad explores the four states of consciousness, Marcel's existentialism emphasizes the lived body and immediate, personal experiences.
