Relația dintre fenomenologie și metafizică în gândirea lui Mihai Șora
The relation between phenomenology and metaphysics in Mihai Șora’s thought

Summary/Abstract: According to Mihai Șora’s theory/philosophical stance, every in­quiry into the relation between phenomenology and metaphysics must start first from the clarification of the notions of existence and in-sistence. If, according to the existentialist phenomenology, existence sends to the fact of being situated in the exterior of your inner self (as Heidegger would put it that is being thrown out ahead in your exis­tential projects), in-sistence is, in Șora’s view, a way of being centered upon yourself, i.e. lying entirely in your own self. For Heidegger, the essence of the Dassein consists in the Dassein’s existence. For Șora, the integral existential project of man, being made of the man’s totality of existential acts, does not come out from the mode of existence (as interpreted by Heidegger), but rather resides in the in-sistence’s mode. The passage from existence to in-sistence marks here a leap from phenomenology to a sort of meta­physics which nonetheless does not cancel out the phenomenological inquiry, but rather attempts at integrating the latter in a broader and more comprehensive theory of being and grounding. The result of this analysis would be that phenomenology and metaphys­ics are in truth two complementary domains, and not two opposed approaches in philosophy.
