    Vol. 21, 2021 A new decade for social changes ISSN 2668-7798 www.techniumscience.com 9 772668 779000 Technium Social Sciences Journal Vol. 21, 846-852, July, 2021 ISSN: 2668-7798 www.techniumscience.com The concept of transcendence in philosophy and theology Petrov George Daniel Theology Faculty, Ovidius University – Constanța, România [email protected] Abstract. The transcendence of God is the most sensitive and profound subject that could be addressed by the most enlightened minds of the world. In sketching this concept, the world of philosophy and that of theology are trying the impossible: to define the Absolute. Each approach is different, the first being subjected to reason, reaching specific conclusions, and the second, by understanding God's Personal character, appealing to the experience of living your life in God. The debate between the two worlds, that of philosophy and that of theology can only bring a plus to knowledge, while impressing any wisdom lover. Keywords. God, transcendence, immanence, Plato, Cioran, Heidegger, Hegel, Stăniloae I. Introduction The concept of transcendence expresses its importance through its ability to attract the intellect into deep research, out of a desire to express the inexpressible. The God of Theology was often named and defined by the world of philosophy in finite words, that could not encompass the greatness of the inexpressible. They could, however, rationally describe the Divinity, based on the similarities between the divine attributes and those of the world. Thus, in the world of great thinkers, God bears different names such as The Prime Engine, out of a desire to highlight the moment zero of time, Absolute Identity and even Substance, to express the immateriality of the Cause of all causes.

  • Emil Cioran – a Deconstructive Philosophy
    EMIL CIORAN – A DECONSTRUCTIVE PHILOSOPHY Angela Botez∗∗∗ [email protected] Abstract: For Cioran, expressing (something, someone) is the same with a postponed ripost or an aggression left for lateron and his writing is a solution, not to act, to avoid a crisis. His indignation is not as much a moral outset, as it is a literary one, the resort of inspiration, while wisdom wearies us of any momentum. The writer is a lunatic who uses in curative purposes these fictions we call words. For the Romanian philosopher the most uncomfortable relation is precisely with philosophy explaining that meeting the idea face to face incites us to talk nonsense, and clouds our judgement and produces the illusion of almightiness... All our deregulations and aberrations are triggered by the fight we lead with the irrealities, with the abstractions, with our will to conquer what does not exist, and from hereon also the impure, tiranical and delirious aspect of the philosophical works... Keywords: Emil Cioran, deconstructivism, antifoundationalism, philosophy of life, despair, and end of philosophy. Among the Romanian philosophers, the most explicit postmodern position of a deconstructive nihilistic type was Emil Cioran. In his work Exercises d’admiration: essais et portraits,1 published in the Romanian version by the Humanitas Publishing House in 1993, there is an article entitled Relecturing, resulted, according to the confession of the author, from the intention to present to the German readers his Précis de décomposition translated from French to German by Paul Celan, in 1953, and edited in 1978. The text gives a glimpse of the type of philosophy promoted by Emil Cioran, inscribed, obviously, among the postmodernist, antifoundationalist, nihilist, and deconstructivist tendencies.

Trujillo, Jr. University of Louisville Abstract: Emil Cioran offers novel arguments against suicide. He assumes a meaningless world. But in such a world, he argues, suicide and death would be equally as meaningless as life or anything else. Suicide and death are as cumbersome and useless as meaning and life. Yet Cioran also argues that we should contemplate suicide to live better lives. By contemplating suicide, we confront the deep suffering inherent in existence. This humbles us enough to allow us to change even the deepest aspects of ourselves.

  • After Images of the Present. Utopian Imagination In
    Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo | Vol. 4 | Núm. 1 | 2016 | 340-362 Nadja Gnamuš University of Primorska Koper, Slovenia AFTER IMAGES OF THE PRESENT. UTOPIAN IMAGINATION IN CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICES Whatever we do, it could be different. The painting of a picture is never finished; the writing of a book is never completed. The conclusion of what we have just printed out could still be changed. And if it came to that, then the effort would start from the beginning.1 The introductory quote is taken from Ernst Bloch's short essay on the humanist and political writings of Berthold Brecht. "Brecht wants to change the audience itself through his products, so the changed audience […] also 1 Bloch, E. (1938). A Leninist of the Stage. Heritage of Our Times (1991). Cambridge: Polity Press, p. 229. Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contemporáneo ISSN: 2013-8652 online http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/REGAC/index Schulz-Ohm, M. | Living a Utopia. The Artist’s House as a Total Work of Art has retroactive effect on the products".2 This would be the ideal effect of an artwork engaging in real social life and actively transforming it. The desire to change the world into a better, freer, and balanced place is not just the driving force of critical and socially engaged actions but also an immanent feature of utopian thought. However, this ideal and accomplished social whole (as imagined by the historical avant-gardes) is evasive and not yet to be attained. It is non-existent or ou-topic on the map of reality.

  • The Postmodern Self in Thomas Pynchon's the Crying of Lot 49
    AKADEMIN FÖR UTBILDNING OCH EKONOMI Avdelningen för humaniora The Postmodern self in Thomas Pynchon's the Crying of Lot 49 Dismantling the unified self by a combination of postmodern philosophy and close reading Andreas Signell 2015-16 Uppsats, Grundnivå (Studentarbete övrigt) 15 hp Engelska med ämnesdidaktisk inriktning (61-90) Ämneslärarprogrammet med inriktning mot arbete i gymnasieskolan 0030 Uppsats Handledare: Iulian Cananau, PhD Examinator: Marko Modiano, docent Abstract This essay is about identity and the self in Thomas Pynchon's critically acclaimed masterpiece The Crying of Lot 49. Through a combination of postmodern philosophy and close reading, it examines instances of postmodernist representations of identity in the novel. The essay argues that Pynchon is dismantling the idea of a unified self and instead argues for and presents a postmodern take on identity in its place. Questions asked by the essay are: in what ways does Pynchon criticize the idea of a unified self? What alternatives to this notion does Pynchon present? The essay is split into six chapters, an introductory section followed by a background on Thomas Pynchon and the novel. This is followed by an in-depth look into postmodernism, and Ludwig Wittgenstein's importance for it, as well as the basic concepts of his philosophy. This is followed by the main analysis in which a myriad of segments and quotations from the novel are looked at. Lastly, this is followed by a summarizing conclusion. The essay assumes a postmodernist approach of not being a definitive answer; rather it is one voice among many in the community of Pynchon interpreters.

  • The Troubles with Postmodernism
    THE TROUBLES WITH POSTMODERNISM As it nears the millennium European and American culture is dominated by that sense of something long dominant in the process of collapse which we call the condition of postmodernity. Stefan Morawski here attempts to unravel the complex strands which link our perception of postmodernism and postmodernity with aesthetic and human values whose roots lie deep in history. His discussion of modern art, film, literature and architecture ranges widely over the European tradition and offers an impassioned interrogation of the ways in which we understand, evaluate and use contemporary culture. Stefan Morawski is Professor Emeritus in the Institute of Art History and Theory, Polish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Warsaw and at the University of Warsaw Philosophical Faculty. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the philosophy of art and culture.

  • A FEW REMARKS on SCHOPENHAUER's WILL Doru ENACHE Abstract Introductory Remarks
    94 A few remarks on Schopenhauer’s will A FEW REMARKS ON SCHOPENHAUER’S WILL Doru ENACHE Abstract This article focuses on Schopenhauer’s masterpiece – Viata, amorul, moartea – analysing the author’s view on some essential aspects of human existence. The center of his approach relies on the famous concept of “will”. The will to live appears as the only motivator of our existence, the only trigger of our actions. Also, while all things have their reasons, existence is the only one lacking motivation. Thus, the only way we can reach serenity is by accepting the absurd of our own life. Keywords: purpose of existence, absurd, pessimism, struggle, motivation Introductory remarks In his work Viaţa, amorul, moartea (1994), Arthur Schopenhauer presents his point of view on some issues he finds essential to the existence of a human being. “The purpose of philosophy is to know and explain the existence of the Universe. The expression of this existence is the Will to live. Aspiring to exist is manifest in the organization, life being one of the possible directions of development. In animals, the Will to live, a fundamental principle of being, is immutable and unique.” (Schopenhauer, 1994: 3) Therefore, an animal lives solely out of inertia, with a view to procreating, so that life should go on. The painful question arises: is man different from the animal? Is in man’s case the Will to live also the only trigger of our existence? Is man’s life so important as to be considered more than a simple trip between two equally meaningless points? Is it possible that we take each episode we go through too seriously? We blindly move forward, without having a clue as to what awaits us, we work our entire life to make a meaningless living, we suffer constantly to accomplish useless things, we lead a life whose only certainty is death.

  • CLOWNS of POTENTIALITY REPETITION and RESOLUTION In
    Cercles 14 (2005) CLOWNS OF POTENTIALITY REPETITION AND RESOLUTION in Gertrude Stein and Emil Cioran CAMELIA ELIAS Aalborg University A writer must always try to have a philosophy and he should also have a psychology and a philology and many other things. Without a philosophy and a psychology and all these various other things he is not really worthy of being called a writer. I agree with Kant and Schopenhauer and Plato and Spinoza and that is quite enough to be called a philosophy. But then of course a philosophy is not the same thing as a style. Gertrude STEIN The construction of the modernist fragment follows two directions. There are writers who emphasize totality in their juxtapositions of pieces of texts, and others who break that totality by juxtaposing fragments that are incompatible. In the first case the fragment which may yet be complete in its elaboration closes itself around a certain meaning that the fragment as such proposes. In the second case, incompatibility elicits an openness which grounds meaning, not in the text, but in the wide space where the search itself for meaning becomes meaningful. Put more clearly, these two approaches to the fragment answer two different questions: whereas in the first case the question is “what is the meaning of the fragment?,” the second case deals with “what is the meaning of having the fragment mean anything?”. Ultimately this is what distinguishes between writing a fragment and writing fragmentarily. Among the modernists who theorize the difference between writing a fragment and fragmented writing is the novelist Alain Robbe-Grillet.
