Filosofia sistematică românească. Aspecte istorico-teoretice și comparative
Romanian Systematic Philosophy. Historical-Theoretical and Comparative Aspects

Summary/Abstract: In the history of Romanian philosophy, philosophical systems and projects first appeared in the second half of the 19th century. In the first part of this paper, I will try to show that the general context of Western philosophy at that time was no longer favourable to this kind of philosophizing, and then to show that this negative attitude was not a major impediment, as at the same time many authors argued that the systematic ideal is part of the very nature of philosophical endeavour. In the second part of the paper, I will very briefly review the main philosophical systems published in Romania against this background, arguing that they should not be seen as anachronistic but, following an idea of Collingwood, they must be understood as expressions of the very nature of the philosophical way of thinking.
