O voce care nu a fost auzită: Lucian Blaga şi reorientarea istorică a filosofiei ştiinţei
A voice that wasn’t heard: Blaga and the historical shift in the philosophy of science

Summary/Abstract: The historical shift in philosophy of science established the understanding that regulative ideas concerning the requirements of scientific description and explanation of nature radically changed as a significant research tradition was replaced by another. In the following paper, we aim to point out and debate several outstanding anticipations of this shift that occurred in Blaga’s historico-philosophical works published in the first half of the 20th century. Essentially, this is about the thesis that the stylistic patterns of big historical cultures determine the requirements of description and explanation of nature that make a research tradition. The importance and topicality of Blaga’s considerations is outlined by comparison with those of some remarkable figures of the new philosophy of science: Al. Koyré, St. Toulmin, and Th. Kuhn.
