Blaga – The magical way of thinking

Summary/Abstract: In his volume Gândirea magică (The magical way of thinking), first published in 1941, Blaga contends that seeing the world in terms of magic has to be distinguished from seeing it through myth, though the two forms of apprehending and imagining the world may be and in fact are most of the time combined. Unlike myth, perceiving the world from the perspective of magic is not a thoroughgoing attempt to unveil the cosmic mystery; rather, it ends up confirming and fortifying that mystery.
