THE CONCEPTION OF THE “COSMOS” AND “ANTHROPOS” IN THE RURAL SPACE – APPROACH TO THE WRITINGS OF ERNEST BERNEA

Summary/Abstract: Ernest Bernea studies the archaic mentality of the Romanian peasant, looks with tenderness and rigor at the popular beliefs about space, cosmos, place, house, surroundings, household village. The Romanian peasant appears, in his works, as a sage who does not propose or on the contrary, does not want to find out all the secrets of the universe, he contemplates nature and respects life with his order. This order ensures clarity, clarity of thought, an order that he does not want to be changed, he just wants to integrate. Man and cosmic harmony start from the same patterns, which he sometimes calls elements - an origin of the cosmos that he accepts and tries to understand. The Romanian peasant is wise, he talks about the sky and the world with a simple language, but full of meanings that amaze modernity.
