Abstract(s)
A dissertação é um exame crítico da possibilidade teórica do Budismo japonês poder
fornecer recursos conceptuais profícuos para a compreenssão de um tipo de relação diferente
com a natureza; sugerida por Lynn White, essa possibilidade poderia encetar tipologias de
posturas diferentes daquelas que o autor advoga terem conduzido à crise do ambiente
contemporânea.
O primeiro capítulo concerna à exposição teorética das principais ideias e pontos de
partida das correntes de pensamento oriental que influenciaram o Budismo japonês.
O segundo capítulo versa sobre a especificidade do Budismo japonês e da forma como
a sensibilidade estética nativa é transfigurada religiosamente através da vivência do mundo
natural. Esta evidência teórica é demonstrada pela génese de várias obras de arte de cariz
naturalista, entre as quais a poesia errante, a pintura paisagística e os jardins japoneses.
O terceiro capítulo aborda a questão de como é que o Budismo japonês e a estética
homóloga poderão contribuir para o entendimento e resolução crise do ambiente hodierna.
Será defendido que ambos encerram a possibilidade de uma estética do ambiente semelhante
à defendida por alguns autores contemporâneos e que essa mesma estética do ambiente é
relevante para a compreensão crise do ambiente.
Abstract: The thesis is a critical examination of the theoretical possibility that japanese Buddhism can provide fruitful conceptual resources to the comprehension of a different relation with nature; suggested by Lynn White, this possibility could account for somewhat different stances from those that the author sustains have led to the contemporary environmental crisis. First chaper concerns the theoretical exposition of the main ideas of the eastern currents of thought that influenced japanese Buddhism. The second chapter details the specificity of japanese Buddhism and how the native aesthetic sensibility is religiously transfigured through the encounter with the natural world. This theoretical evidence is illustrated by the genesis of several naturalist works of art, like errant poetry, landscape painting and japanese gardens. The third chapter addresses the question of how japanese Buddhism and aesthetics can be relevant to understanding and resolving the environmental crisis. It will be argued that both inclose the possibility of an environmental aesthetics similar to that helded by some contemporary authors and that same enviromental aesthetics is relevant to compreehension of the environmental crisis.
