The Food, Water, Air and Fire Doctrines in Ancient Indian and Greek Philosophies from a Comparative Perspective ; Doktrine hrane, vode, zraka in ognja v stari indijski in grški filozofiji s komparativnega vidika
The main aim of this article lies in the comparison of ancient cosmico-natural elements from the Vedic period with their counterparts in the Presocratics, with a focus on food, air, water and fire. By way of an introduction to the ancient elemental world, we first present the concept of food (anna) as an idiosyncratic Vedic teaching of the ancient elements. This is followed by our first comparison—of Raikva’s natural philosophy of Vāyu/prāṇa with Anaximenes’s pneûma/aér teaching in the broader context of both the Vedic and Presocratic teachings on the role of air/breath. Secondly, water as brought to us in pañcāgnividyā teaching from Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad and Chāndogya Upaniṣad is compared to the teaching of the Greek natural philosopher Thales. Finally, the teaching on fire as heat being present in all beings (agni vaiśvānara) and in relation to cosmic teachings on fire in the ancient Vedic world are compared to Heraclitus’ philosophy of fire as an element. Additionally, this article also presents a survey and analysis of some of the key representatives of comparative and intercultural philosophy dealing with the elemental and natural philosophy of ancient India and Greece. ; Članek se ukvarja s primerjavo starih kozmično-naravnih elementov iz vedskega obdobja s predsokratskimi elementi: hrano, zrakom, vodo in ognjem. Najprej se v uvodu v starodavni svet elementov ukvarjamo z elementom hrane (anna) kot indijsko posebnostjo v okviru starih učenj o elementih. Temu sledi prvi od treh osrednjih delov članka, v katerem se posvečamo primerom indijske filozofije narave (Raikva in nauki o Vāyu/prāṇa) ter grškemu nauku filozofa Anaksimenesa o pneûma/aér – oboje v širšem kontekstu starih vedskih in predsokratskih učenj o vlogi zraka/vetra/diha. V drugi osrednji analizi se posvečamo učenju o vodi (pañcāgnividyā) v Bṛhadāraṇyaka upaniṣadi in Chāndogya upaniṣadi ter sorodnih starih vedskih tekstih in ta nauk primerjamo s starimi grškimi nauki o vodi, ki jih najdemo v Talesovi filozofiji narave. V sklepnem delu se posvečamo še indijskim vedskim naukom o ognju kot toploti, prisotni v vseh bitjih (agni vaiśvānara), ter spremljajočih kozmičnih učenjih stare Indije. Te nauke primerjamo s filozofijo grškega misleca Heraklita. Poleg tega članek prinaša pregled in analizo najpomembnejših del s področja primerjalne in medkulturne filozofije, ki se ukvarjajo z omenjenimi temami stare elementarne misli in filozofije narave v vedski Indiji in predsokratski Grčiji.
