Summary/Abstract: The fragments of the manuscripts of Professor Dumitru Isac, which are published starting with this number of the „Yearbook”, represent both the cursives made by the author in order to draft the courses of history of philosophy and his personal reflections next to the works of the commented philosophers. On a hand, view the lack of the integral text of the courses, these fragments offer important, sometimes decisive clues, on the great effort of Dumitru Isac to interpret the writings of the philosophers from various historical eras, always in correlation with his personal vision – that of the critical realism –, which was, unfortunately, impossible to explicitly assert within the context of the Marxist ideological context of the years 1950-1980. On the other hand, neither the preparing manuscripts, now edited, weren’t kept in their totality – unfortunate event to what is added their frequently mix by the author, probably motivated by the search of the optimal mean to magistral exposure. During the print preparation stage, the editor opted for the recuperation of the classical chronological line, the historical and philosophical one, where the author exposes, by comparison of the fragments and their grouping depending on the main themes that are treated (e.g. Kant, post-Kantians, neo-Kantians and so on). The orthography was updated and few errors were tacitly corrected. The footnotes, the observations and the translations were separately signalled, by using square brackets, so that the reader distinguish the ones belonging to the author from the ones of the editor. The editor hopes that these new restitutions of the manuscripts of Professor Dumitru Isac shall accomplish the profile of his exceptional personality in the academic life of our city, Cluj-Napoca [Ionuț Isac].
