De ce persistă manifestările antisemite în societatea românească și după emigrarea în masă a evreilor? Gânduri, amintiri și ipoteze
Why do anti-Semitic manifestations persist in Romanian society even after the mass emigration of Jews ? Thoughts, memories and hypotheses

Summary/Abstract: Trying to answer a question that might seem redundant to some of us – „why do anti-Semitic manifestations persist in Romanian society even after the mass emigration of Jews?” – this essay proposes a hypothesis according to which anti-Semitic manifestations appear and are maintained, mainly, through the joint action of two major psychocultural diseases: the syndrome of captive thinking and the absence of a culture of recognition. In support of this hypothesis, the pragmatic-discursive scenario designed at the confluence of applied philosophy, cognitive psychology and cultural studies is a personalized reflexive approach with autobiographical echoes that reveal, from the perspective of common sense morality, how absurd is any manifestation of anti-Semitism, racism, xenophobic nationalism and theocratic fundamentalism maintained by captive thinking syndrome and the absence of a culture of recognition.
