REVALORIZAREA SCEPTICISMULUI ÎN OPERA FRANCEZĂ A LUI E. M. CIORAN
The revalorisation of scepticism in Emil Cioran’s French work

Summary/Abstract: Cioran’sposterity – especially that due to the French written work – is labelled ‘scepticism’. Tothe attentive reader and especially to the researcher this tag seems strange as long asthey are familiar with Cioran’s vituperations against the ‘sceptic’, against the detachedand neutral wise. This article tries to explore the reasons why Cioran could beconsidered a sceptic in the French space and to analyse if there really exists a‘conversion’ of Cioran in the French age of his work. The article’s conclusion is that –if we can talk about some scepticism concessions (maybe to facilitate the reception ofhis work by the French public) – they are inseparable from a revaluation of thescepticism from a change or extension of the meaning of this term and, inevitably, froma nuanced analysis of the ‘classic scepticism’, devitalized or showing symptoms ofdevitalizing in comparison with what I call apophatic or ecstatic scepticism.
