Ifá e Odús: interdisciplinaridade, lógica binária, cultura e filosofia africana

Abstract

Within the history of studies and African culture and afrodescendencia this dissertation is an innovative integration within the Ifa tradition. Ifa is a literary and philosophical body, which descends from a deity between two worlds understood as the physical and the spiritual. The systematization of Ifa representations work questions on binary algebra and organization of Ifa meanings was the purpose of the idealized research. The importance of this issue is to examine specific knowledge of a culture and tradition that has the educational process orality and the preservation of interdisciplinary culture. We add our proposal for the systematic examination of the concepts and propositions of life that includes developing the collectivity and individuality in learning and understanding through the exercise of philosophical virtues, specific thinking Yoruba, starting from the design of nature and divine genealogy of creation within the African tradition inherited from Ancient Egypt. Ifa is cultural diversity that can be science, religion and sociability. We bring to this body of work beyond what has already been explained geometry, aesthetics and medicine within the inter-relational aspect to show as is the absorption of knowledge. We intend to stay away from the universalistic, Eurocentric theoretical basis seeking the deepening of African philosophy and interdisciplinarity to contemplate the cultural and ethnic-Brazilian aspects as well as being in accordance with Law No. 10,639 / 03. Thus, based on orality present in religions of African origin, and through the literary body of Ifá, embark on the complexity of reason and metaphysics and timeless logic to understand cognition in the aspect of institutiva worldview values and principles.
