IDENTITATE INDIVIDUALĂ ŞI IDENTITATE POLITICĂ. VIZIUNI ROMÂNEŞTI INTERBELICE
INTERWAR ROMANIAN APPROACHES ON PERSONAL IDENTITY AND POLITICAL IDENTITY

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to continue and deepen previous theoretical research, aiming at finding those general concepts that define the individual and political identity. If the liberal thinking and especially postmodern liberalism can build a concept of individual identity that transcends national and political component – and this is even an ideal and actually marking a crisis of democracy - in terms of conservative view there is no individual identity "pure", Self's strong entrepreneurial individual freedom and rights due to his excessive spirit of initiative. Starting from these premises I also observe and compare how individual and collective identity is reflected in the work of singular Romanian thinkers (Ştefan Zeletin, Constantin Rădulescu Motru, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade) - with application in the field of political philosophy. Concerning the problem of individual and collective identity as it is understood in interwar Romania we can say that it reveals both the role of rational reflection which tempers the subjective inner sight and originality of their vision implicit in the current context of globalization.
