EMINESCU ON THE PATHOLOGY OF PUBLIC MOEURS AND THE THEORY OF COMPENSATION

Summary/Abstract: The political attitude is immediately noticeable in Eminescu’s journalism, but beyond this and as the foundation of his options unfolding is a real conceptual network, a sociological discourse by itself; most of his analyzes reveal the presence of a theorical, lucid and politically neutral core. This ideatic background is, most often, overlooked, because the interpretation of his texts depends on polemical contexts and interests; nonetheless, even when the apparaising neutrality is stated, at variance are a series of assumptions, emotional reactions, prejudices, attitudinal passions and choices – either original or activated in the process. What matters is, however, the extent to which the hermeneutic act shows a minimum aperture toward the adequacy to textual meanings, the affective complicity with the author’s avowed or latent intentions to reconstrue the purport of his messages through subjective descentering.
