„Ce-ar fi dacă?” Mitologia ca „teorie de fond” pentru experimentul de gândire
‘What if?’ Mythology as a ‘background theory’ for thought experiment

Summary/Abstract: Focusing on the Romanian hypothetical expressions mentioned by Vulcănescu and considered by Noica from an ontological standpoint, the present article shifts from ontology to epistemology in order to map out a few guidelines for their investigation as thought experiments. The benefit of such an approach is that it can contribute to the elucidation of the mechanisms by which a specific community organizes its knowledge and shapes its world view.
