Jurnalul unui filozof
A Philospher's Diary

Summary/Abstract: Andrei Pleşu’s most recent volume is entitled Note, stări, zile (1968-2009) (Notes, States, days (1968-2009)) and was published by the Humanitas Publishing House in Bucharest in 2010. The book’s publication is justified in a succinct Foreword. First, Andrei Pleşu talks about the fact that the publication of this book did not seem a good idea, especially since the volume is a sort of journal, and the man of culture has serious doubts regarding auto-fiction. What bothered him was the “pedantic self-love” present behind every journal entry, as well as the fact that he believed neither in the “accountant-like recording of the daily meteorology”, nor in the “transformation of one’s own intimacy into a planetary show” or the “pathetic display of certain samples of private turmoil.” He also considered embarrassing the “indirect encomium, scrupulously recorded in writing, with hypocritical modesty.”.
