Raimon Panikkar 1918 – 2010
Raimon Panikkar (1918 – 2010) was a Spanish-Indian philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Christian Philosophy, Indian Philosophy, and Vedanta.
Raimon Panikkar was a Spanish-Indian philosopher and Catholic priest, born in Barcelona to a Catalan mother and an Indian father, and one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century intercultural philosophy and theology. The Unknown Christ of Hinduism argued for a deep Christian recognition of the divine reality acknowledged in the Hindu tradition, while The Cosmotheandric Experience and The Rhythm of Being developed his distinctive vision of reality as the irreducible relation of the cosmic, the divine, and the human. His project of diatopical hermeneutics, the practice of thinking from two cultural places at once, shaped the contemporary discipline of comparative philosophy.
