Embark on a profound philosophical journey with Lucian Blaga's "Les diffrentielles divines (Philosophia perennis)," a thought-provoking exploration of metaphysics and the nature of divinity, now available in French translation. Originally written in Romanian, this edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with Blaga's seminal work for Francophone readers and scholars. Published by Librairie du savoir in 1990, this paperback edition presents Blaga's intricate ideas in a accessible format. Lucian Blaga (1895-1961) was a Romanian philosopher, poet, playwright, and diplomat, considered one of the most important and original thinkers of the 20th century. His philosophical system, often referred to as "ecstatic and differential ontologism," attempts to reconcile the rational and the irrational, exploring the mysteries of existence through a unique lens. Blaga's work often delves into the concepts of the "Great Anonymous," a term he uses to describe the unknowable source of creation, and the ways in which humanity can access a deeper understanding of the universe through myth, art, and philosophical inquiry. "Les diffrentielles divines" delves into the subtle nuances of the divine, exploring the "differentials" that differentiate and define our understanding of the sacred. Blaga challenges conventional notions of divinity, proposing a dynamic and evolving concept that moves beyond static definitions. Within its 178 pages, Blaga explores the intricate relationship between humanity and the divine, delving into themes of transcendence, immanence, and the limitations of human knowledge. He uses sophisticated philosophical arguments to dissect the nature of reality and explore the hidden dimensions of existence. This French translation offers a crucial point of access to Blaga's rich and complex philosophical universe, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Blaga's profound contributions to existential philosophy, religious studies, and metaphysics. "Les diffrentielles divines" stands as a testament to Blaga's enduring legacy, inviting readers to contemplate the fundamental questions of existence and the mysteries that lie beyond the realm of ordinary experience. The book is part of the "Philosophia perennis" series, which aims to present perennial wisdom that transcends particular cultures. This book will interest those studying or interested in Romanian philosophy, 20th-century European thought, and comparative religion. It provides a valuable addition to any collection focused on existentialism, metaphysics, or the exploration of the human condition. The French translation makes Blaga's complex ideas more widely accessible.
