Anabasis și Catabasis
Anabasis and Catabasis

Summary/Abstract: In this essay we tried to demonstrate the existence of two principles in Blaga’s work, which are in the same time opposite and complementary. These principles, the height and the depth, represent the base for Lucian Blaga’s philosophy of culture. The analyses made by LucianBlaga in Trilogy of Culture show that even when he speaks about space, time or unconscious, in reality all is about these two coordinates which define the style of a culture: it is about height (anabasis) and depth (catabasis). So, after we analyzed the proportion between the theories presented by Blaga in Trilogy of Culture and the results obtained by him, we found that each culture is built on one of these principles or is the result of their cancellation.
