Clipa „cea repede” şi darul muzicii: aplicaţie fenomenologică
The “quick” instant and the gift of music: A phenomenological approach

Summary/Abstract: Starting with Mihai Şora’s Clipa şi timpul [Instant and time], my paper will be interested in searching the boundaries of the existential concepts instant and being (to be). In my opinion, these represent two fundamental words which have followed the development of philosopher’s thought starting with his first book, Du dialogue intérieur [On Inner Dialogue]. The first part of my paper will consist in a hermeneutical reconstruction of the above relation under three main aspects: 1) the instant as horizon of possibility, 2) the instant as the bearer of human values, 3) the donation of the instant, especially Şora’s interpretation of the music phenomenon. Following the course of the mentioned book, my second section will focus on the precarious condition of human being (one of the author’s favourite themes since his youth) and I will try to illustrate, from the perspective of the verb to be, the forms of its manifestation. Are the consequences of this precarious condition a danger for the fulfilment of human’s vocation? What kind of danger and in what kind of terms are we allowed to speak about M. Şora’s idea of salvation? These are questions to deal with in the last section of my paper.
