Alcune riflessioni su Dio e gli dei nell'hinduismo. Monoteismo / politeismo, deva / asura e isvara, non-dualismo e dualismo

Starting from a famous passage in Brhadaranyakopanisad 3,9,1-9, the paper tries to defend the old-fashioned concept of Henotheism (used for the first time by F.W.J. Schelling and developed by F. Max Mueller), in parallel with the concept of Inclusivism (invented by P. Hacker and developed by W. Halbfass), as a useful hermeneutical tool in order to enlighten some of the most evident features of hindū theology. The complex relation between the category of isvara and the category of deva is the best way to evidentiate that the apparent conflict Monotheism/Polytheism is probably a false problem within Indian context.
