Resumo(s)
A presente tese pretende construir um discurso teológico coerente acerca das
fórmulas religiosas dos yorùbás da África Ocidental, procurando uma aproximação às
mais elementares e ao mesmo tempo centrais ressonâncias do pensamento yorùbá
acerca do sagrado. Trata-se, pois, de um exercício de reflexão em torno das
problemáticas do divino, traduzidas nas fórmulas: ser-supremo, divindade, energia vital
e predestinação, tidas como fundamentais para a compreensão do pensamento religioso
do objeto de estudo. Partindo de uma perspetiva essencialmente teológica, pretende-se
compreender o pensamento religioso yorùbá per si, procurando entender as
transformações conceptuais mais do que procurar paralelos com outros imaginários
religiosos, particularmente aqueles fora das fronteiras africanas.
ABSTRACT: The present thesis aims to construct a linear theology discourse about the yorùbá people of western Africa, trying to get to the deep central religious formulas of that specific religious identity. It represents an observation of the dilemmas concerning the divine which is expressed in central concepts: supreme-being, divinity, vital-force and predestination. Those concepts must be seen as vital for the understanding of the object of study: the yorùbá religion. The endeavor of understanding the yorùbá religious thought by itself will take the theology reflection as methodological process, trying to avoid the comparative religious model outside the African borders and most of all stressing more the mutation of concepts
