In this paper we will study and comapre two different approaches to human action, carried out during the middle ages by two philosophers from different backgrounds. Ramanuja was mainly concerned with giving a right interpretation of the prasthanatraya, i. e. the vedas, vedanta sutras and the bhagavad gita. In his bhashyas or commentarie swe find, in an unsystematic way, valuable insights concerning the concept of human action. Thomas aquinas had the audacity to integrate the teachings of aristotle with the philosophy and theology taught by christian authors of his own time. It is from chapter III of aristotle's nicomachean ethics that the theory of action stems in the west. And it is Thomas aquinas who, in his summa theologica, elaborates a complete treatise concerning it. The goal of this comparative study is not to find two identical theories of action, but to strike up a dialogue between two philosophers who, at first sight, look very different from one another. If this is possible, then we can say that it is possible, beginning with human nature, to achieve a common truth regarding man, the world and god.
