Huberto Rohden Sobrinho, known as Huberto Rohden (30 December 1893 – 7 October 1981), was a Brazilian philosopher, educator and theologist.

Biography

He was born in São Ludgero. He was a pioneer of transcendentalism in Brazil who wrote more than 100 works, where he taught ecumenical lecture of spiritual approach towards Education, Philosophy, Science, emphasizing self-knowledge.

Rohden was a major proposer of a cosmo philosophy, which consists of an individual cosmic harmony within a "cosmocracy": a self-governed individual through universal ethical laws in connection with a collective consciousness of the universe and the flourishing of the divine essence of humans, assuming one has to be responsible for its acts and pursue an intimate reform, with no appeal to an ecclesiastic authority to release the debts of its moral behaviour.

He is a translator of the New Testament, of the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching; he was concerned with editing them with low prices, in order to enable access to these works.

A former jesuit priest during the beginning of the literary career; major in Sciences, Philosophy and Theology at the Innsbruck University (Austria), Valkenburg aan de Geul (Netherlands) and Naples (Italy).

In Brazil he founded the Instituição Cultural e Beneficente Alvorada (1952), taught at the Princeton University, American University (Washington, D.C.) and at the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (São Paulo, Brazil). He delivered lectures in the United States, India and Portugal.
