Agostinho da Silva
George Agostinho Baptista da Silva,
GCSE,
pron. , (
Porto,
February 13 1906 -
Lisbon,
April 3 1994), was a
Portuguese philosopher,
essayist and
writer. His thought combines elements of
pantheism and
millenarism, an ethic of renounciation (like in
Buddhism or
Franciscanism), and a belief in
freedom as the most important feature of man. Anti-dogmatic, he asserts that truth is only found in the sum of all conflicting hypothesis (in
paradox). He may be considered a practical philosopher, living and working for a change in society, according to his beliefs.
