Abstract

According to Candomblé, axé is present in every living being and is necessary to life. To develop and maintain a sense of well-being, one must maintain a balanced level of axé which is linked to a reciprocal relationship between human beings and orixás (African deities). This article will explore the link between the spiritual force axé and well-being (bem estar) within Candomblé philosophy. Starting with explaining axé within the context of Candomblé and its concept of personhood, the article will reflect in the latter part on the concept of well-being from the perspective of axé and put forward an argument for the inclusion of Candomblé in philosophy of religion.

阿克塞作为坎东布雷哲学的基石及其对理解幸福（bem estar）的意义

坎东布雷教认为，axé 存在于每一个生命之中，是生命所必需的。要培养和保持幸福感，就必须维持 axé 的平衡水平，而 axé 与人类和 orixás（非洲神灵）之间的互惠关系息息相关。本文将探讨坎东布雷哲学中的精神力量 axé 与幸福（bem estar）之间的联系。文章首先从坎东布雷及其人格概念的角度解释 axé，然后从 axé的角度思考幸福的概念，并提出将坎东布雷纳入宗教哲学的论点。
