THE EMINESCIAN LONGING FROM POETRY TO PHILOSOPHY
THE EMINESCIAN LONGING FROM POETRY TO PHILOSOPHY

Summary/Abstract: Eminescu concentrated the authentic feeling of the Romanians in the word Dor (longing), which is at the same time a fundamental concept and a state of mind specific to the Romanian people. No other Romanian thinker managed to focus in Dor (Longing) so much depth of the Romanian thought and soul. Even if we encounter philosophical reflections on Eminescu's longing in Lucian Blaga’s or Constantin Noica’s works, no one has raised the word Dor (Longing), as it appears in Eminescu’s work, to the rank of a philosophical concept with connotations of existential basis. This may be due to the fact that Eminescu has not built an explicit philosophy centered on this concept, but rather an implicit philosophy that surfaces in his poetry, where the essence of Eminescu's creation is concentrated.
