The liberalism and the critique of totalitarianism in Doina Cornea’s dissident discourse

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at analysing Doina Cornea’s conception about two opposite phenomena that Romania experienced before 1989, i.e. the liberalism and the totalitarianism. The analysis is mainly based on the letters that Doina Cornea, one of the most known Romanian dissidents, wrote and transmitted trough the Radio Free Europe after 1982. Several themes related to liberalism and totalitarianism are under scutiny here: the individual liberty, the citizenship, the thruth, the tandem diversity-uniformity, etc. The main objective of this article is that of highlighting the relation that our author establishes through arguments between liberalism and democracy.
