The opinions of three Romanian thinkers regarding Romanian spirituality

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,00, University of Suceava, language: English, abstract: This article refers to points of view that Mihai Eminescu, Constantin Radulescu-Motru and Mircea Vulc¿nescu had concerning Romanian spirituality. In their writings, they have identified those specific elements of the Romanian people, through which we can characterize very well in terms of spirituality. The purpose of this study is to show that Romanian spirituality allow the existence of a native Romanian philosophy, as well to remind that those special characteristics that define us as a nation. The philosophy wants to give a true and objective conception about the world by removing any subjective residue, making it as scientific as possible. From this point of view the ethnic characteristics can become an impediment for the purpose. This explains why when the existence of a logical dissonance it is found inside a system, it is made either on the account of prejudice or national specific traditions. However, these dissonances should not be treated lightly, but analyzed with objectivity and scientific rigor, firstly to explain them as appropriate as possible and secondly, because they are the ones that characterize a specific spiritual moment of a nation. That's because every nation has on it¿s own, besides the traditions and idioms, some typical and personal characters, specific ways to react in special moments, including certain ways of viewing things and certain ways to express them. According to Mircea Florian,the philosophy is starting to nationalize in the XIII century by addressing a new philosophical language, thought and used in order to facilitate the masses access to the philosophical principles that the French Revolution has built.. Therefore in the late century that was mentioned above, philosophy " also suffers the following principle of the independence of the nationalities proclaimed by the French Revolution¿. Therefor ¿the philosophy customizes, focuses between national boundaries as far as nations awaken to a life of its own and become aware of their past. The philosophy of the nineteenth century it is transformed from a european one into a national one; since 1800 we meet the german philosophy, french philosophy, english philosophy, italian philosophy, american philosophy, etc..- the mentality is nationalized. Instead of a European value systems, philosophy raises the flag of the national particularism, of the religiosity, of the respect for the past".
