Bien que vivant au quotidien dans l’existence, nous n’avons que très rarement le « sentiment » de l’existence : nous faisons quelque chose, nous allons et venons, et par là faisons partie de ce tout qu’est l’existence sans toutefois y penser véritablement. A de rares moments cependant, contemplant un paysage du haut d’une montagne, regardant le ciel étoilé, nous réalisons non sans frissonner qu’une chose comme l’existence existe. Nous nous extirpons alors de l’affairement pour nous plonger dans l’intégralité de cette vaste existence : nous existons avec l’existence, non parce que le champ de notre vision se trouverait être considérablement élargi, mais parce que c’est le fait même d’embrasser l’espace qui nous libère et nous permet d’« entendre » ce passage de l’existence, son écoulement.

This book contains twelve engaging philosophical lectures given by Alexandru Dragomir, most of them given during Romania’s Communist regime. The lectures deal with a diverse range of topics, such as the function of the question, self-deception, banalities with a metaphysical dimension, and how the world we live in has been shaped by the intellect. Among the thinkers discussed in these lectures are Anaxagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and Nietzsche. Alexandru Dragomir was a Romanian philosopher born in 1916. After studying law and philosophy at the University of Bucharest (1933–1939), he left Romania to study for a doctorate in philosophy in Freiburg, Germany, under Martin Heidegger. He stayed in Freiburg for two years (1941–1943), but before defending his dissertation he was called back to Romania for military service and sent to the front. After 1948, historical circumstances forced him to become a clandestine philosopher: he was known only within a very limited circle. He died in 2002 without ever publishing anything. It was only after his death that Dragomir's notebooks came to light. His work has been published posthumously in five volumes by Humanitas, Bucharest; the present volume is the first to appear in English translation. In 2009, the Alexandru Dragomir Institute for Philosophy was founded in Bucharest as an independent research institute under the auspices of the Romanian Society for Phenomenology.
