N. Steinhardt. Love Way Between Quiet and Confab THESIS SUMMARY N. Steinhardt. Love way between quiet and confab The doctor’s degree thesis called: ” N. Steinhardt. Love way between quiet and confab” is structured into four main chapters, that is: - I am the way, truth and life; - N. Steinhardt, Life and writing - N. Steinhardt in the contemporaries mirror - Steinhardt essay-writing challenges the free arbiter The objectives that the present thesis proposes are in fact the answer to the following three questions: - Does Steinhardt represent a history file, that is still being written? - Nicu’s path was the wistfulness from the boundary between trust and devotedness? - Can Steinhardt man becoming be used as a page from a continuous education book? Nicolae Staeinhardt is a complex man of culture, gives birth to this thesis through his personality like a personal myth. Starting from the title “ N. Steinhardt. Love way between quiet and confab”, the text reveals a pluri- dimensional writer, a juggler of the phoneme, human being existence and of being (K. Jospers), of the bibliography, of the structuralism and structure (L. Wittengenstein). The thesis framework is build from an assembly of emblematic titles and sub-titles for the subscribed dissertation. The first chapter of the doctor’s degree thesis: “I am the way, truth and life ” (Ioan, 14,6) is an introduction in N. Steinhardt life and writing, outlining the image of a model that worths to be followed, that is placed somewhere at the boundary between human values and Christian ones. This chapter has as subordinated other five titles: - The King and the “Practical joker” - From sinners, saints - N. Steinhardt martyrdom as expiation or gain - How to divest souls, body - Steinhardt understood that “ By donating you will acquire” Love Under the title The King and the “Practical joker ”, is developed the idea according to which the body and the soul (mind, love, will) argue a whole life for choosing the way accompanying, because in real world, it is flooding and friend is the one that we go with in the ship. The logic of the human awareness is oriented toward surviving to the physical body. Sub consciousness logic and development of spiritual structures. That’s why, the trials of mechanical substitutions of these ones, in most of the cases, make 1 disappear one of these two components. In this context the healthier commitment in life is that of friendship, that of giving up to your individuality in order to pass in the other one, specific commitment to the full of friends behind Christ. All of them understand that we as individuals (owners of our own lives) give as it is necessary, but we take much less than it is offered to us. The practical joker is a person that likes to dupe; man that goes on tricks, imposture, lie, in opposition to the truth and the king is the absolute leader of the country and in figurative meaning, a person that dominates a certain field of activity by its material or spiritual power, part that occupies a main position. From sinners, saints, is a subchapter in which starting from the Christic model, then following the same schedule of life, it speaks about Saint Ap. Pavel, Sundar Sing, Antim Ivireanul and at last about N. Steinhardt. The moral character and the qualities of God manifested in Christian, as perfect man. These moral features should manifest also in the believer’s life: saintliness, love, faith and gentleness. That’s why, among the church people, a skilful confessor was chosen in order to explain to us who is This Jesus Christ, priest Teofil Pârâianu. People among people, and however each contested by the time when they live, blamed, condemned, physically killed, for the fact that life, through catharsis, discovered their existence sense, not uttered, extremely simply, at hand and meanwhile, one as personal as possible and also generally valid. Reason, will and feeling are the ingredients that harmonize according to the gift, to each one skill , the salt dose necessary to non har????, and if you don’t consider things in this way, the sickness spies you. N. Steinhardt martyrdom as expiation or gain Judeans people were cursed to be always hungry and thirsty of word. And Steinhardt fed with reading a whole life, so well that he can teach to others. Martyrdom means pain, and if you want to be realistic, you turn against pain and if you want truth, you have the necessary motivation and the courage to face to any torture, even also to death; you know your way; it is the one on which, if you walk, you certainly gain and not whatever –life. You managed to exceed the history terror. Steinhardt, like others, thus motivated, are perfect models of self-education, of non-sense healing and their testaments represent books of universal ethics. Nicolae Steinhardt was born on Romanian land, fact that engaged him a whole life in the work to gain the noble Romanian status. The genetic knowledge was that of a soul full of goodness – from his mother and courage – from his father. Even his modesty did not allow him to admit it. Steinhardt had the courage to believe that friendship can not be betrayed and it requires love, sacrifice. It requires common 2 sense and humility, for the extension of the visual field, in order to see as any foreign, as any other. And the real art to be Christian is the trust in Christ even in trouble. How to divest souls, body The sub-chapter brings into discussion the temptations exceeding in order to acquire the status of free people, as one of the tests that Christ was submitted, as INDIVIDUAL. One of the required rules is the right consideration The right and in the same time, our duty is the freedom/independence to choose, to manage alone the world in ourselves. And however deprive freedom can be considered also the information bombardment, getting us old. The exposure unnecessary prolonged, without a goal or a selection capacity to the TV programs, break out two diseases, the psychologists say : first, in connection to learning problems and the second, connected to the attention and hyper-activity problems (LD and respectively ADHD syndrome). Work, effort, activity generally, become burdensome, stressful or repugnant. Or, to give up easily to any activity that requires concentration and motivated effort means soul death, that can be reported when no goal or objective can mobilize our motivator system, we don’t find any sense in anything and as if we don’t know how to deal with the time. In exchange a Christian life, like Steinhardt and all friends of Christ understood it, means a happy life, or less conditioned by factors external to our will. As the only way to fight against the evil is to refuse to know it, to deny it, making in its place the good. And the recovery depends on the phenomenon consciousness. Steinhardt understood that “By donating you will acquire” Love A periodic balance is useful in order to see in what extension the individual allocates its time for activities really useful. Fact that is easily tested by the sincere answer to the question: in what extension are we able to put ourselves in others place (friendship-tolerance) The second chapter: N. Steinhardt. Life and Writing follows chronologically the life and the activity of the culture man N. Steinhardt and also outlines gradually the becoming of the Christian Nicolae. N.S. associated to the image of Saint Nicolae (Santa Nicolae) can be considered by the power of the own example a soul healing, a “doctor” in happiness. - Childhood, between courage, goodness and bells calling - Studies and beginning of literary activity: between duty and young revolt - Arrest, detention, trials and (re) naissance through baptism - “Happiness diary’, a crisis journal. Reprise of literary activity - Monastery period. Death and testament 3 Childhood, between courage, goodness and bells calling outlines the first period in Nicu Steinhardt life. His childhood delineated between his mother goodness and his father courage. He learnt from his parents the most important lesson of life: to love till the end and to assume all that life brings on his way. The bells calling is the middle of a whole intuitive episode: you can not live in the middle of a people without feeling its pulse, without identifying somehow to its destiny. Since childhood Steinhardt proved an astonishing maturity in thinking and a large culture field. Studies and beginning of literary activity: between duty and young revolt He had the material advantages in order to know the world properly and also the spiritual ones to achieve a cultural map, but something was missing, and it was the fault of the Jewish curse. All that he had learnt lead him slowly to confess the mistake, the insufficiency of being a Jewish. The law learnt, that is the Jewish one (less practised), then “the school” of Constitutional Law (paradox law) wakes him to the reality that he was born as if for experiencing paradoxes. The beginning of the literary activity appears with titles such as: In the kind of Cioran, Noica, Eliade (1934), Essai sur une conception catholique du Judaisme (1935 – together with Emanuel Neuman), then Illusions et realites juives . In the same period he used to go to the literary club Sbur torul and publishes (in 1934 –1935) different articles at Magazine of Royal Foundations, Literary Universe, Victory, Freedom, People tribune, 20 th Century , Literary talks, Romanian life, Magazine of history and literary theory, Ethos (Paris) etc., he works as an editor to the Magazine of Royal Foundations . He tried to have relations with people that think as him and he tried to avoid the ones too serious and fastidious.

    INTRODUctION Burrel, Spaç, Qafë-Bari, Ruzyně, Pankrác, Mírov, Leopoldov, Valdice, Jáchymov, Bytíz u Přibrami, Białołęka, Aiud, Gherla, Jilava, Piteşti, Recsk, Lovech, Belene, Idrizovo, Goli otok. These are names that mean little or nothing to many. But to East Europeans from Central Europe to the farthest reaches of the Balkans, they form an indelible part of their collective memory as the darkest page in the forty-five-year history of communism in the region. They are the names of detention centers, prison camps, and forced labor camps that corrupted the landscape of Eastern Europe from the end of World War II to the collapse of communism in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Although less familiar than the Soviet gulag made famous through the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and undeniably Soviet in inspiration, they were no less brutal and dehumanizing.1 They became a living hell for a huge number of human beings from every walk of life, especially intellectuals, artists, and students whose only crime in many in- stances was a repugnance for the repressive Communist system that demanded conformity and brooked no opposition. Resistance to the imposition of Communist rule throughout Eastern Europe manifested itself almost from the very beginning and grew into mass, and some- times violent, eruptions of protest, among them the Poznań riots in Poland in October 1956, the Hungarian Revolution later that same year, the Prague Spring that led to the Soviet and Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, the rise of Solidarity in Poland in the early 1980s—the reverberations from which were ultimately felt throughout all of Eastern Europe—and the bloody upheaval that ended the reign of Nicolae Ceauşescu in Romania in December 1989.

  • 1335 Nicolae Steinhardt
    SECTION: LITERATURE LDMD I NICOLAE STEINHARDT- BIOGRAPHIC CONTEXT Claudia CREŢU (VAŞLOBAN), PhD Candidate, ”Petru Maior” University of Târgu- Mureş Abstract: „Any man has one street of childhood.. Mine was there in the such insignificant Pantelimon, between Capra and Fundeni – and in the endless courtyard of a sawmill, perhaps the cleanest industry, deeply pervaded by the smell of cut wood and sawdust”1. This way starts the story of a man who revolutionized the literature world after 89, with his Journal of Happiness, the volum that bruoght readers both sadness and joy, Nicolae Steinhardt’s story. Coming from a good family, belonging to the petty bourgeoisie, having in his family tree links with Sigmund Freud, he attends the Spiru Haret Highschool where he is colleague with Constantin Noica, Alexandru Paleologu and Mircea Eliade, after that he attends the Law Faculty, the field to which he will dedicate his PhD thesis. Being part of the group of intellectuals along with the ones mentioned above, he will come in the secret service’s attention as being a „hostile element” and he will spend four years in prison out of twelve he was sentenced for. Here he discovers the joy of meeting Christ, which later will result in monastic tonsure. Despite all these, Nicolae Steinhardt will continue to collaborate with various magazines, which will publish his articles, that will deal with a wide range of topics, as wide and diverse as his entire knowledge. Keywords: studies, Secret Service, prison, monk, publishing work Nicolae Steihardt. Contextul biografic „Are orice om câte o uliţă a copilăriei.

    SECTION: HISTORY LDMD I CULTURE AS A HAVEN DURING THE COMMUNIST REGIME Ramona MUREŞAN, PhD Candidate, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract:The cultural products of the communist regime must be observed in a close relation to the political circumstances of the period, since everything was governed by politics during those times. The special and unique link between culture and politics might be hard to understand from the contemporary perspectives even by an inhabitant of the former communist bloc, not to mention people who have never known a totalitarian regime. In these circumstances, culture became a haven, a getaway place from the hardship of life. And nowhere was this more obvious than in the communist prisons, where innocent people found refuge in praying, in poems and in sui generis conferences and lectures given by outstanding teachers, priests and scientists who were imprisoned for merely believing in their dreams and values. Learning poems by heart, teaching others and sharing cultural knowledge to their fellow sufferers, gave these people the strength to survive, mentally and physically, in a communist political prison. Politically detained persons in the Romanian communist regime found their balance in religious faith (Nicolae Steinhardt), in poems (Radu Gyr, Lena Constante) or in handcraft. Regardless of the cultural form they have resorted to, their testimonies are a valuable life lesson for those who now enjoy the freedom that they have so hardly fought for. Keywords: communism, cultural haven, political imprisonment, freedom When dealing with the cultural products of a totalitarian society, one must thoroughly observe the correlation between the cultural product in itself and the socio-political context within which it was created and, possibly published or released to the public.

  • From C. S. Lewis' Joy to Nicolae Steinhardt's Happiness
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2014 FROM C. S. LEWIS’ JOY TO NICOLAE STEINHARDT’S HAPPINESS LAURA CARMEN CUğITARU, Ph.D. Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iasi Abstract The paper highlights common or divergent points in the way in which the concept of ”joy” is reflected in two masterpieces of Christian literature: Surprised by Joy (C. S. Lewis) and The Diary of Happiness (N. Steinhardt) Key words: joy, happiness, Sehnsucht, Christianity, Orthodox Christian tradition C. S. Lewis (1898 – 1963) wrote Surprised by Joy during the latter years of his lifetime and had it published in 1955, eight years before his death. As we are warned from the very beginning, this volume is not an autobiography. On the one hand, the existential intervals under scrutiny are few and incompletely described. On the other hand, the author himself frequently and humorously admits he is not quite sure of the accuracy of his narration (memory can be tricky, and not everything is to be taken ad litteram). In his mnemotechnic effort, the author obsessively pursues one goal: to define the state of joy that visited him, fleetingly but overwhelmingly, in different periods of his life. The title as such intertextualizes a famous poem by the Romantic writer William Wordsworth, Surprised by Joy, Impatient As the Wind. In this poem, joy acquires truly ecstatic dimensions, especially due to the mediation of its ambivalent, paradoxical character: it is both intense and brief, at the same time. To Wordsworth, happiness ineffably adds particular touches of light to the long and painful darkness of earthly existence. It is not by chance that Lewis makes this textual allusion.

    UN CIORAN MÉCONNU Mara Magda Maftei Facultatea de Relaţii Economice Internaţionale, Academia de Studii Economice din Bucureşti, Piaţa Romana, nr.6 sector 1, Bucureşti, Roumanie [email protected] AN UNKNOWN CIORAN Abstract: It is said that youth marks us for ever, that the past is never forgotten. What about when it comes to a controversial writer with a double culture, French-Romanian, and born in a turbulent historical context? This paper emphasizes some original matters concerning the writer Emil Cioran. It presents the interwar Romanian political and intellec- tual context, Cioran’s friends, who were then separated by the Iron Curtain, the reception of his Romanian and French books by his generation, the comments of the philosopher on his own writings, and the context that contributed to the birth of his philosophical thought. Keywords: Cioran; Iron Guard; friendship; reception of Cioran’s Romanian and French books Résumé: On dit que la jeunesse nous marque pour toujours, que le passé ne s’oublie jamais. Qu’en est-il lorsqu’il s’agit d’un écrivain controversé, avec une double culture, franco-roumaine, et surtout né dans un contexte historique agité ? Cet article insiste sur quelques aspects originaux concernant l’écrivain Emil Cioran. Nous présentons tout d’abord le contexte politique et intellectuel de l’entre-deux-guerres en Roumanie, les amis de Cioran, séparés ensuite par le Rideau de Fer, l’accueil de ses livres roumains et français par sa génération, les commentaires du philosophe sur ses propres écrits, et le contexte qui contribua à la naissance de sa pensée philosophique.
