Abstract: The author offers a research of the philosophy of Indian poet, writer and thinker Rabindranath Tagore based on hermeneutical analysis of his book “The Religion of Man”. In terms of phenomenological approach the philosophy of the Indian thinker is described as a combination of spiritual experience in contemplation the Supreme Being, the freedom as a methodological approach, the tradition as the source of thought as well as the proof for the correctness of ideas, which is appropriate to Tagore. Having put himself within the tradition of Vedic rishis’ contemplation, the poet developed his own philosophy (ontology and anthropology). The philosophy of Tagore's religious humanism can be described as a synthesis of freedom of thinking and various Indian unorthodox philosophical traditions. The key idea of Tagore's ontology is jīvan-devatā ('the Lord of life’) the eternal Personality and Supreme Man, the Creator of the Universe and human beings. The phenomenon of a human being is the pivotal point in the development of the universe because he is considered there as an expression of the Truth and the Meaning of a life. The Tagore’s philosophy in this respect is far from the traditional Indian understanding of the phenomenon of a human being. Along with the teaching about the links of human soul to the Brahman (jīvan-devatā), the human as the result of Creation is being considered as His co-creator in the World and the Life, the main figure in evolution, the maker of Civilization and the Creator of culture. Man is understood as free, future-oriented and creative being. Tagore affirms for India the idea of value of human freedom, dignity and his earthly life not only for spiritual liberation (mukti), but for other people, society and culture.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors build a political philosophy from the theological and philosophical works of Albert the Great, which is relatively autonomous with regard to Metaphysics and Supernatural Theology due to the fact that, even when it has its own principles, formal objective and end derive from the Supreme Being and Supreme Good which are God´s first creations.
Abstract: Albert the Great provided several statements to build a sort of Political Philosophy from his theological and philosophical works. His Political Philosophy is relatively autonomous with regard to Metaphysics and Supernatural Theology due to the fact that, even when it has its own principles, formal objective and end, which is the political common good, these derive from the Supreme Being and Supreme Good which are God´s first creations. There is thus a clear subordinate relationship between Political Science and Wisdom whose object is God.
