Madhva - Madhva (English spelling)

He was an Indian Vedanta philosopher and the founder of the Madhava school, a branch of Hindu Vaishnavaism. He was from the Kannada region of southern India. His works include commentaries on the Brahma Sutra, the religious poem Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads. He criticized the monism of the Shankara school, arguing that Brahman, the individual self, and matter are real and distinct entities, and preached a different theory. He also identified Brahman with the god Vishnu, based the faith in Vishnu on Vedanta philosophy, and preached liberation through direct realization of God.

インドのベーダーンタ学派の哲学者で、ヒンドゥー教ビシュヌ派の一派マーダバ派の開祖。南インドのカンナダ地方の出身である。著作に、『ブラフマ・スートラ』の注釈、宗教詩『バガバッド・ギーター』や諸ウパニシャッドの注釈などがある。シャンカラ派の一元論を批判し、ブラフマン(梵(ぼん))と個我と物質は実在で、それぞれはっきり異なるとして、別異論を説いた。また、ブラフマンをビシュヌ神と同一視して、ビシュヌ信仰をベーダーンタ哲学で根拠づけ、神の直証(ちょくしょう)による解脱(げだつ)を説いた。
