Nicolae Bagdasar: Despre adevăr ca miză în cultura europeană
Nicolae Bagdasar: On truth as a stake in the European culture

Summary/Abstract: The subject of truth in philosophy has the role of generating multi-faceted aspects having logical, epistemological, cultural and cultural-historical relevance. Nicolae Bagdasar (1896–1971), as an epistemologist interested in the delimitation of logical from the psychological aspects, sustained an epistemology centred on logic and truth in a period in which knowledge was emerging as an autonomous concept and as a scientific, objective and formal discipline. In this context, Nicolae Bagdasar considers the truth a problem to be analysed in correlation with reality and inseparable from the latter. The following paper identifies in his work „Din problemele culturii europene” (Among the problems of European culture) a dual approach, epistemological and cultural. The paper concludes with a comparison of Nicolae Bagdasar’s and Constantin Noica’s views on European culture in order to emphasize a substantial synonymy between the terms Europe” and “culture”.
