Analitica şi dialectica suveranităţii la Mircea Vulcănescu
Analytics and dialectic of sovereignty in Mircea Vulcănescu

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the way in which the image of sovereignty is articulated in Mircea Vulcănescu’s works. The theme goes through the several disciplinary frameworks assumed by the author (philosophy, sociology, economics and theology), establishing a connection between them. All forms of sovereignty are conceived on a dialectical basis which will ultimately lead to the disarticulation of the phenomenon itself. Thus the plenitude of sovereignty coincides with the undermining of its attributes and therefore with the removal of the concrete marks of sovereignty. Interesting enough, in a theoretical perspective this dialectical authority makes use of the instruments of the analytic philosophy, which, in a proper use, should have determined a positivist approach to the object/phenomenon. It is still to investigate to what extent the strong presuppositions of the system that provided Mircea Vulcănecu with a method mark his philosophical structure. Is it a tension that turned into a symptom of a crisis, or is it rather a welcome synthesis of the two different theories? And finally, to what extent could such a synthesis be ever possible?
