Prof. Barros de Andrade has experience in the fields of philosophy and religious studies, with a focus on ancient Greek religions and the history of philosophy, working mainly on the following themes : traditions of immanence and non-dualism in the East (Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism) and the West (earlier thought - Socratic, Stoic, Spinoza, Hölderlin and Thoreau). He is currently focusing on Greek spirituality, the philosophy of nature, the possible relationship between the experience of the sacred and nature, and the study of Hellenic neopaganism. He coordinates the RENATURA study group (PPCIR/UFJF/CNPq), dedicated to exploring the overlap between nature, spirituality and philosophy.
