    Becoming being: on Parmenides' transformative philosophy.Chiara Robbiano - 2005 - Sankt Augustin: Academia.
    This study offers a new interpretation of the poem of the founder of Western philosophy: Parmenides. It shows that there is more in his poem than the description of Being by means of negative adjectives such as ingenerated and immobile. His words ask his audience to question their habits, to modify their goals, to engage in new enterprises and to look with a critical eye at their previous attempts to get knowledge. It operates as a travel guide that leads the (...)

    Parmenides’ and Śaṅkara’s Nondual Being without Not-being.Chiara Robbiano - 2016 - Philosophy East and West 66 (1):290-327.
    The similarities in the philosophies of Parmenides and Śaṅkara1 need to be better understood than they have been so far. I will argue that the goal they share can be characterized as that of leading their audiences to nondual reality, which is the only trustworthy knowledge or experience one can have. They refer to this nondual reality respectively as being and Brahman. Even if the phrase ‘nondual reality’ or ‘nondual experience’ strikes many readers as controversial if applied to Parmenides’ being, (...)

    Cultivating Two Aspects of Intellectual Humility: Openness and Care.Chiara Robbiano & Karin Scager - 2020 - Teaching Philosophy 43 (1):47-69.
    We believe that intellectual humility is an essential intellectual virtue for university students to foster. It enables them to excel as students of philosophy and other disciplines, to navigate the fast-changing world inside and outside academia, and to flourish in interaction with others. In this paper, we analyze this virtue by singling out two distinct but related aspects: the openness-aspect and the care-aspect. The former makes one value a dialogue with those who have different views from one’s own. The latter (...)

    Practising Diversity in Education: In Dialogue with Dōgen and bell hooks.Chiara Robbiano - 2023 - Culture and Dialogue 11 (1):5-40.
    This essay argues that diversity needs to be practised. Drawing insights from two thinkers who saw themselves as educators, Dōgen and bell hooks, I single out three steps towards practising diversity in a learning community. I make two concrete recommendations for each step. Step One involves trying to understand the other in their own terms, by becoming informed about the frameworks that play a role in their experience. Step Two guides us to listen to every unique other and receive their (...)

    Can Words Carve a Jointless Reality? Parmenides and Sankara.Chiara Robbiano - 2018 - Journal of World Philosophies 3 (1):31-43.
    Parmenides and Śaṅkara are two ontological non-dualists who regard any division—for instance, between everyday objects or individuals—as conventional. Both Parmenides and Śaṅkara, by arguing for the undividedness of absolute reality, provide a vantage point from which to consider the possible arbitrariness of all divisions, which originate from human distinctions, rather than reflect gaps between different joints of reality. Human distinctions—and words used to draw them—are secondary to a reality that cannot be cut at its natural joints, since it does not (...)
