DE LA TRADIŢIONALISM LA MODERNISM ÎN ABORDAREA RAŢIONALULUI ŞI IRAŢIONALULUI
TRADITIONAL AND MODERN APPROACHES IN STUDYING THE RATIONAL AND THE IRRATIONAL

Summary/Abstract: Traditionally, the rational is conceived as a phenomenon in full agreement with the notions of reason and norm. Thus, anything that is reasonable is considered rational. In a similar vein, the irrational denotes the opposite to the aforementioned notions. However the question that modern researchers are concerned about is if the rational and the irrational are indeed in opposition or in conflict. From an interactive point of view, these notions are understood as conditioned realities. Therefore, in a modern investigation, these entities find themselves in unity and not in opposition. Being analyzed as something mutable, they are brought into line with logic or lack of logic. The mobility of the rational and the irrational is explained by lack of any rational ideal, because what was rational at one time may no longer be rational at another one.
