• W1556163607 abstract "Introduction A significant philosophical development of twentieth century was spread of realization that beliefs are contextual. Another was appreciation that this context is, by and large, culture. A quasi-philosophical development of undeniable importante is movement of interreligious dialogue. The interrelatedness of these three developments has often been commented on but has seldom been systematically developed. However, there is an often-overlooked philosopher from Eastern Europe who has systematically developed philosophy of culture in a way that has very fertile application to interreligious dialogue. This philosopher is Lucian Blaga. Blaga's philosophy offers an explanation of role of culture in understanding and appreciation of complex belief systems such as religions. It provides an account of metaphysical source of religious disagreement, affords a vantage point from which religious diversity can be evaluated, illuminates reason for difficulty in communicating across cultural barriers, and explains how such communication is possible. An examination of Blaga's philosophy will be fruitful for all those interested in interreligious relations. This article will succinctly explain Blaga's philosophy of culture and then draw out its most significant implications for interreligious understanding and communication. Lucian Blaga and Philosophy of Culture Lucian Blaga was an early-twentieth-century Romanian philosopher (18951961). With an undergraduate degree in Orthodox theology, a Ph.D. in philosophy from University of Vienna, and a chair of Philosophy of Culture at Babes-Bolyai University, he was not endeared to Communist Party, which banned him from teaching and publishing. Prior to World War II he published prolifically, however, and during communist period he wrote additional books that were able to be published only posthumously. At heart of Blaga's oeuvre are fifteen volumes that detail a speculative and creative systematic philosophy. This cohesive philosophical system is both colorful and rigorously analytical, and it has implications for a wide range of issues, including interreligious dialogue and understanding. One interesting aspect of Blaga's philosophy is its explication of role of culture in human cognition. Many Romanian commentators have interpreted culture as holding central place in Blaga's system. Culture is, according to Blaga, sine qua non of humanness. (1) It is culture more than anything else that distinguishes humanity from other forms of animal life. (2) A culture is a product of human creativity actuated through a stylistic and within a particular set of concrete circumstances. It is an inevitable result of human attempt to reveal/depict/grasp mysteries of human existence. Every cultural creation involves three essential elements: concrete material, metaphorical expression, and style (analyzable into a matrix of elements). The concrete materials of a culture are physical, intellectual, or spiritual materials that humans utilize in their creations. These are used metaphorically to express ideas, emotions, or intuitions that transcend material itself. The particular way that concrete is metaphorically used reflects style of user, which is product of a number of factors called stylistic matrix. The Categories of Understanding and Abyssal Categories A very important aspect of Blaga's philosophy of culture is his analysis of categories of mind and how these categories relate to culture. Although Kantian influence on this area of Blaga's thought is unmistakable, Blaga adds significantly to Kant's understanding of categories. (3) According to Blaga, humans are equipped with not one bur two sets of intellectual categories. The first of these he names the categories of understanding. …" @default.
