Thus, there are two tendencies to conceive the idea of liberation: the ancient or traditional and the modern, only that, of the second, a reinterpretation of the first is always assumed, because while the idea of traditional liberation is strictly religious (only for followers or disciples), dogmatic and exclusive; the idea of modern liberation is secular, open and inclusive (without distinction of race, nationality or religious subscription). To account for this reinterpretation or decontextualization, it was necessary to balance the hermeneutic horizon between Europe and India, that is, a general analysis of how they relate to, derive from, and influence these cultures, and how, because of this encounter, the India begins a trend to reinterpret. This trend generated in modernity, because of the encounter with Europe, has been coined the term neo-Hinduism, which I clarified, together with its terminological variants.En este artículo analizo la postura de dos de los más importantes pensadores modernos de la India: Ram Mohan Roy y Swāmi Vivekānanda, señalando su tendencia a reinterpretar, homogenizar y/o descontextualizar la idea de liberación espiritual, en contraste con la idea de liberación tradicional. Así pues, hay dos tendencias de concebir la idea de liberación: la antigua o tradicional y la moderna, solo que, de la segunda, siempre se asume una reinterpretación de la primera, pues mientras que la idea de liberación tradicional es estrictamente religiosa (solo para adeptos o discípulos), dogmática y excluyente; la idea de liberación moderna es laica, abierta e incluyente (sin distinción de raza, nacionalidad o suscripción religiosa). Para dar cuenta de esta reinterpretación o descontextualización, fuenecesario hacer un balance del horizonte hermenéutico entre Europa e India, es decir, un análisis general de cómo se relacionan, afectan e influyen mutuamente dichas culturas, y cómo, a raíz de este encuentro, la India comienza una tendencia a reinterpretarse. A esta tendencia generada en la modernidad, a raíz del encuentro con Europa, se le ha acuñado el término neohinduismo, el cual explicaré, aunado a sus variantes terminológicas. Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas2023-09-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://revistas-filologicas.unam.mx/interpretatio/index.php/in/article/view/35310.19130/irh.2023.2.00S01X012Interpretatio.
