Abstract
Paradigm of Light in Lucian Blaga's Outlook: A Semiotic Approach
Highlights
In the context of the paper, I have chosen - from the multitude of its concepts - to use the concept of paradigm in Plato's meaning which refers, on the one hand, to the world of ideas, the prototype of the sensitive world in which we live, and, on the other hand, to a principle which distinguishes the fundamental ties and oppositions between notions specific to the thinking; in an exemplary case, model, prototype, ideal situation
One is the cosmogonic significance of light in a demiurgical sense, another is the ontological meaning in the sense of cosmo-ontology dominated by the insurmountable mystery and another is the gnoseological function in the sense of agnostic gnosis - called by Blaga "the angular stone system of my epistemological system", as it appears from the lyrics "but I, / I with my light increase the mystery of the world." As to the erotic meaning, it refers to the empirical symbolism, burning and consuming, and to the "gray" metaphor with the meaning of a plenary process of purification
If the birth of the world, according to the principle of creation, involves the exit of the Light from the Darkness, that is, the fundamental forms of nature are generated by the energy-information fields of the "complex light" [6, p.64,90]
Summary
In the context of the paper, I have chosen - from the multitude of its concepts - to use the concept of paradigm in Plato's meaning which refers, on the one hand, to the world of ideas, the prototype of the sensitive world in which we live, and, on the other hand, to a principle which distinguishes the fundamental ties and oppositions between notions specific to the thinking; in an exemplary case, model, prototype, ideal situation. One is the cosmogonic significance of light in a demiurgical sense, another is the ontological meaning in the sense of cosmo-ontology dominated by the insurmountable mystery and another is the gnoseological function (light "minus-knowledge") in the sense of agnostic gnosis - called by Blaga "the angular stone system of my epistemological system", as it appears from the lyrics "but I, / I with my light increase the mystery of the world." As to the erotic meaning, it refers to the empirical symbolism, burning and consuming, and to the "gray" metaphor with the meaning of a plenary process of purification In this direction, we intend to emphasize that in approaching Blaga’s work, two inclusive concepts combine: the light and the sign, namely the ontos - the (meta) physical reality - and the logos, which signify the conceptual approach, the procedural reason by which the sign manifests itself. The idea of mystery has an important role in the ontological construction of the world
