Summary/Abstract: Constructive Prerequisites for Sense and Explanatory Worlds in Lucian Blagaʼs Aphorisms. The main purpose of this study is to tackle Lucian Blagaʼs aphorisms by emphasizing the generative strategies involved in the construction of both philosophical or poetic sense and explanatory worlds. If we are to integrate aphorisms within the typological frame of texts, according to Mircea Borcilăʼs proposals, it will be imperative to take into account both their formal peculiarities and, much more importantly, the elements that converge towards their sense creation. In connection with Eugenio Coseriuʼs universes of discourse theory, Blagaʼs aphorisms project two different levels of sense and typological finalities, namely the level of philosophical thought, which underlies the apophantic logos, and the level of creative phantasy, which underlies the poetic logos. However, as we talk about a special prototype of text, we are able to grasp a mixture of universes of discourse and, implicitly, of both their corresponding finalities and strategies through which philosophical or poetic sense is generated. In theory, the hybrid form of some aphorisms reveals their synthetic nature, which coagulates two complementary zones of auctorial consciousness within the same level of discourse, undoubtedly interconnecting creative imprints.
