Ricerca interiore is a blog about humanity's religious and spiritual traditions: Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, the Yoruba religion with its legacies in the diaspora, and many other paths.
The aim is not to convince anyone, but to understand: what a text says, how believers live it, how historians study it, where traditions resemble one another and where they remain different. And, by comparing them, to draw the best from each: every article closes by looking at the other traditions.
Alongside traditional and academic readings there is also room for alternative interpretations, such as those of Mauro Biglino. They are presented for what they are, contested theses, and set against the views of those who dispute them.
How to read the site
- Traditions: articles devoted to a single tradition, from the basics to in-depth studies.
- Themes: prayer, meditation, sacred texts, rituals, mysticism, ethics, death and the afterlife, alternative readings.
- Comparisons: one theme across several traditions, with the sources of each.
- Further reading: at the end of every article, the sources used and recommended reading.
