Mission and Objectives

"The "Scuola superiore di Filosofia orientale e Comparativa" school aims to mediate the western and eastern thinking, in philosophy and psychology. In addition to establishing the need for a confrontation, it will promote practical knowledge and application of the most suitable principles for an intercultural exchange, tending to the development of transpersonal psychology, which make extensive use of alternative categories and ways of thinking to the understanding of man.
  The goal is not specialized or archaeological: you are convinced that only by the disclosure and an accessible presentation of the various areas of research, you can stimulate the possibility of dialogue. Great attention will also be paid to all the theorists who have distinguished themselves by their work of promoting a world philosophy, away from Eurocentrism and exoticism: components that, unfortunately, for some time hinder a serious close examination of the issues in question."
