Abstract
Pese a ser un campo académico poco desarrollado, el lenguaje filosófico hindú ha penetrado en la mentalidad occidental. Aunque conceptos como yoga, karma o reencarnación han entrado en el discurso occidental, han sido apropiados con una tendencia a promover nociones predeterminadas del sí mismo y no a representar algo propiamente hindú. Por esta razón tales discursos reflejan más bien formas de pensamiento occidental. Este artículo analiza el concepto de “sí mismo” como ha sido desarrollado en textos sánscritos primitivos, incluyendo el Sâmkhyakârika y los escritos del pensador del vedânta OEankara, para mostrar que las nociones occidentales del sí mismo presentan un marco por completo inadecuado para interpretar el sí mismo hindú.
