Summary/Abstract: “The world of reality subjects…” analyzes the text of the memorandum drafted by Constantin Noica in the year 1984 on the manuscript of the paper the Ortophysics, written by Mihai Drăgănescu. The study focuses on discussing the structuring manner of the nucleus (set) of probable and plausible reasons of Noica, in the light of which the paper of Acad. Drăgănescu constituted an exception for the Romanian culture, which is expressed via several questions, such as: Why did the thinker of Păltiniş advanced the notion of the „world of reality subjects” in the interpretation of the contributions of the Ortophysics? What would have been the reason for this paper to „shake” the inertia from the (national) world of culture? Moreover, what could one understand by „the astonishment and the amazement of the non-informed thinkers of the 21st century” as a result of this paper? The impartial observer may notice that Noica’s interpretation remained singular in the history of the reception of the Ortophysics in the Romanian culture, thus determining, over time, both enthusiasm and, now and then, irony or simply ignoring. In the end of the study, we shall approach two significant aspects, meaning: the actual significance of Noica’s memorandum for the cultural world of the Romanian „transition”; the trans-temporal reply of acad. Mihai Drăgănescu to Constantin Noica’s reactions towards the Ortophysics and the other structural-phenomenological philosophical works, per general.
