Ortodoxia între raționalism și raționalitate la Sfântul Vasile cel Mare. Un posibil răspuns la o nedreaptă acuză adusă neamului nostru
Orthodoxy between rationalism and rationality at Saint Basil the Great. A possible answer to an unjust accusation against our nation

Summary/Abstract: In this study I will not do an analysis of Saint Basil the Great’s thinking, not even an introspection into his work, but starting from an chosen text (I would say randomly, with the conviction that there are many such texts in his work) we will try to understand a specifically Orthodox way of thinking regarding reason, both in its general sense, but also in its particular aspect, of a typical human function. Starting from this, I will try a possible response to some accusations against Orthodoxy (from our Romanian space and not only), that it might be too “slow” and devoid of social dynamics (and even missionary), precisely because it does not emphasize particularly the outer “miracles“ of reason.
