Personalităţi modelatoare în spaţiul cultural şi literar românesc interbelic. Nae Ionescu (1890-1940)
Modelling Personalities in the Interwar Cultural and Literary Space. Nae Ionescu (1890-1940)

Summary/Abstract: In the Romanian cultural space, Nae Ionescu shaped his personality, one forming for the new generation of the '30s, through his lectures, prefaces and articles in a direct relation with his role as professor and journalist, while he was perceived with admiration by his former pupils and students. The Professor had an indisputable charisma, deeply embedded in the affective memory of his contemporaries, whether admirers or contesters. The discussions related to this exceptional person, who managed to raise vocations, are still open today. Some of them retain the fact that Nae Ionescu actually did not have any philosophical work, while his academic lectures lacked originality to that extent that they were in danger of being considered pure plagiarism. Some others underline the damaging influence he had upon the destiny of his disciples and thus condemn any attempt of the one who 'destroyed' an entire generation of values. The pros and cons do nothing but enhance the complexity of his personality, raising him to the status of a true cultural phenomenon.
