    Brahman and Dao: Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion.Ithamar Theodor & Zhihua Yao (eds.) - 2013 - Lanham: Lexington Books.

    Filosofia e Teologia da Bhagavad-gita. Hinduísmo e o Vaishnavismo de Caitanya. Homenagem a Howard Resnick.Ricardo Sousa Silvestre & Ithamar Theodor (eds.) - 2015 - São Paulo: Juruá.
    O propósito deste livro é preencher a lacuna existente no mercado editorial brasileiro no que diz respeito a obras de cunho acadêmico sobre hinduísmo e filosofia indiana. Essa lacuna se reflete, dentre outras, na inexistência de publicações em português que pretendam ir além do mero aspecto introdutório deste que é um dos maiores clássicos da literatura religiosa indiana e mundial: a Bhagavad-gita; também se reflete na inexistência de literatura especializada sobre as várias tradições indianas que têm a Bhagavad- gita como (...)

    Constructing the Aesthetic Self of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa.Ithamar Theodor - 2018 - Journal of Dharma Studies 1 (1):111-127.
    The Bhāgavata Purāṇa combines Vedāntin philosophy, dramatic and aesthetic elements, and personal expressions in a unique manner. Moreover, it seems to be conveying a notion of selfhood or personhood which is unique and innovative for the Hindu tradition. This paper aims at uncovering this unique notion. It deconstructs the BhP by arguing for the amalgamation of the Rasa-aesthetic school with Vedānta. It then turns to the topic of personhood in the Hindu tradition; it raises the complexity of discussing personhood in (...)

    The 'Fifth Veda' of Hinduism: poetry, philosophy and devotion in the Bhāgavata Purāṇa.Ithamar Theodor - 2016 - London: I.B. Tauris.
    The Bhagavata Purana is one of the most important, central and popular scriptures of Hinduism. A medieval Sanskrit text, its influence as a religious book has been comparable only to that of the great Hindu epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Ithamar Theodor here offers the first analysis for twenty years of the Bhagavata Purana often called the (Fifth Veda) and its different layers of meaning. He addresses its lyrical meditations on the activities of Krishna (avatar of Lord Vishnu), the (...)

    The pariāma aesthetics as underlying the bhāgavata purāa.Ithamar Theodor - 2007 - Asian Philosophy 17 (2):109 – 125.
    This paper offers a literary and ideological deconstruction of the Bhāgavata Purāa; it traces the Purāa's formation through the convergence of the Vedāntin, the Aesthetic and the Vaiava traditions, and argues that it is the doctrine of Pariāma which underlies the treatise. I first examine the Bhāgavata Purāa's literary components; the roots of these are traced back historically to the Vedānta and Ālvār traditions, and the Bhāgavata Purāa's nature as an opus universale, representing an all Indian cultural 'melting pot', is (...)
