EXERCIȚII HERMENEUTICE ÎN PUBLICISTICA LUI MIRCEA FLORIAN
Hermeneutic exercises in Mircea Florian's publications

Summary/Abstract: The paper is inspired by the vast work of the Romanian thinker Mircea Florian (1888-1960), rich in interesting and substantial interpretations, which inspire to reconsider some convictions routed in the speciality exegesis. For this present work, we considered the arguments that Florian brings to support certain theses proposed in respect to the life and work of Titu Maiorescu, Mihai Eminescu, and Constantin Rădulescu-Motru. The study of the philosophical beginnings of T. Maiorescu determines M. Florian to notice an ideatic constant in his thinking and work, represented by the influence of Herbart. This influence is visible in all the Maiorescu’s works – starting with his PhD thesis –, and in any and all major philosophical fields: ontology, logic, aesthetic, education theory, culture theory etc. Thus, researching the life and work of M. Eminescu, the Romanian interpreter uses the thesis-antithesis-synthesis Hegelian triad from love to stoicism –, with the accent on the particular element of the antithesis, which has, in itself, a moment of transformation in a „more profound self” (poet’s pessimism). Finally, expressing himself about the life and work of C. Rădulescu-Motru, the interpreter brings the attention on the confusion between the scientific spirit and the social sciences (particulars), thus highlighting the two plans of science evolution – of the surface, which brings with itself the change via the technique, respectively the plan of the depth, which represents the privilege of the science or the metaphysics. The hermeneutic of the energetic personalism is done throughout a profound historic and philosophic analysis of the classic and modern European culture. In this meaning, the energetic personalism constitutes not only a pure theoretical option of its author, but a spiritual expression of the nation to which he belongs.
