| Sumario: | In the last decades, several rapprochements have been made between quantum physics and the Advaita Vedānta (AV) school of Hinduism.

In this study, I propose to address this encounter in the light of recent works on philosophical implications of quantum physics by the physicist and philosopher of science Bernard d'Espagnat. |
