Heidegger, Noica și relevanța rostirii filosofice (românești) ca practică intra- și interculturală
Heidegger, Noica and the relevance of (Romanian) philosophical utterance as an intra- and intercultural practice

Summary/Abstract: The following article serves a threefold purpose. Firstly, it offers a description of two different types of philosophical utterance, i.e., of two practices meant to highlight the philosophical potential of a particular language. The first type, endorsed by Martin Heidegger, is based on the search for a pre-logical Logos of lived experience and, later, of language as a reality beyond human grasp; it is characterised by the innovative, forceful stretching of the limits of language and by its belonging to a hegemonic cultural space. The second type, practised by Constantin Noica from the standpoint of a margin­al(ised) culture, is much more open to scientific and linguistic insights and less tortured, though also less innovative, in its dealing with language. By revealing crucial differences between Noica’s and Heidegger’s thought, the resulting analysis may, on a second level, also be read as a comparative study on these two thinkers. Thirdly, the article is an attempt to defend the relevance of philosophical utterance by stressing its affinities with intercultural philosophy and – in the case of Romanian philosophical utterance – by drawing on Hegel’s view of art, religion and philosophy as the primary domains of Absolute Spirit in order to argue that religion, poetry and philosophy are in a privileged position to promote the intra- and intercultural virtues of Romanian philosophical utterance as a practice.
