Philosophical Counterpoint: An Approach between Heidegger and Śaṅkarācārya from the Perspective of Language and Time

This paper proposes a comparative study between Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology and Śaṅkarācārya's Advaita-Vedānta, based on the notions of language and time articulated in the dimension of encounter. The paper examines how, in Heidegger, language and time reveal themselves as Dasein's horizon of meaning, and how, in Advaita-Vedānta, the relationship between time (kāla), word (śabda), and ultimate reality (Brahman) is structured in a dynamic of veiling and unveiling. The analysis contrasts these perspectives to identify convergences and divergences in the constitution of meaning. The aim, therefore, is to foster intercultural and philosophical dialogue between East and West.
