Languages nuance our ideas and perceptions. Though from various angles, Heidegger, Derrida, Wittgenstein forged new ways of understanding the relationship between our views of the external world and our culturally and linguistically pre-determined modes of expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother giant in this field of exploration is the Romanian philosopher Constantin Noica (1909-1987), who has so far remained generally unknown to the Western World because of the Iron Curtain. \u003ci\u003eThe Romanian Sentiment of Being\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eSentimentul rom穗esc al ființei\u003c\/i\u003e), first published in Romanian in 1978, is a philosophical work at the intersection of metaphysics and philosophy of language. The title of this book may be deceptive. \"Romanian\" does not mean ethnically circumscribed; it does not limit ontology to nationality but rather reflects on how language can carry ontological thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Romanian Sentiment of Being\u003c\/i\u003e invites the readers to meditate on the fundamental theme of being and how it is expressed in a culture in time. This being in time marks the tension between moment and eternity, captured in the fairytale \"Ageless Youth and Deathless Life\" (\"Tinerețe fără batr穗ețe și viață fără de moarte\"), which Noica interprets in detail. The translation of the story will be found in the appendix. Noica also analyzes one of the most famous poems in Romanian, Mihai Eminescu's \"The Evening Star\" (\"Luceafărul\"), and readers will find its translation in the appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Octavian Gabor, Constantin Noica\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1685710387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685710385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Punctum Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Octavian Gabor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410648101119,"sku":"9781685710385","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59b0bf51-24a6-47ef-a6a8-388d26414d46.jpg?v=1697537140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-romanian-sentiment-of-being-octavian-gabor-9781685710385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
