Artykuł ukazał się w polskiej wersji językowej pod tytułem Analiza pojęcia widźnianatman w kontekście adwaitycznej interpretacji relacji pomiędzy podmiotem absolutnym a względnym, “Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis” 10 (2015), zesz. 3.;
The main aim of this article is to show how some philosophical concepts developed in the period of the Upaniṣads — the most important time for building the contextual background for further philosophical speculations — as well as to contribute to the discussion how on the base of introspective experiences formed the Upaniṣadic view of the world and how that view could have been adopted in Advaita thought. The topic of this article is to show the relation between two dimensions of reality; one of them is denoted by the term akṣarātman — ‘imperishable ātman ’, which is related to the Absolute dimension, and the other by the term vijňānātman — ‘reasonable ātman ’, which is related to the empirical perspective of reality. The term vijňānātman occurs only twice in the classical Upaniṣads. We can find it in the Praśna. This analysis follows the hermeneutical methodology. All consideration are based on the main text of the Praśna with some additional remarks to the other texts belonging to the line of the Atharvaveda, to the Muṇḍaka and to the Māṇḍūkya. The leading idea of the Praśna and Muṇḍaka is the deliberation between parā (higher) and aparā vidyā (lower wisdom), and the special emphasis devoted to describing the details of yogic procedures.
