Aspectul metodologic şi „chipul” întâmplării în gândirea românească a fiinţei. Explorare hermeneutică
Methodical aspect and the ‘portrait’ of happening in the Romanian thinking of Being. Hermeneutical exploration

Summary/Abstract: Following Mircea Vulcănescu’s ontological projects, this paper aims to reassemble some of the meanings of the Romanian word întâmplare [happening] in order to give a possible answer to the question: ‘what does it mean that something happens in a Romanian manner?’ We will point out the methodical role it plays, by putting it in relation to other classical hermeneutical concepts like ‘tradition’, ‘symbol’, or ‘language’. These connections will prove their effectiveness in a quantitative analysis (cause by accident as a principle of movement), as well as in a qualitative one (by resorting to some Romanian ‘hypostases’ of happening: pretext of dispute, fulfilment as integrality, passivity as receptivity, bringing to pass, worldly proper arrangement, fate [or destiny]). Their peculiarity will be proved in comparison to some of their equivalent meanings, as grasped in Western philosophy.
