SENSURI ALE RAŢIONALULUI ŞI IRAŢIONALULUI LA MIRCEA FLORIAN

The paper presents the three secondary meanings of the rational and irrational, analysed by Mircea Florian – explaining by natural and real causes the meaningful action, which has a humane or vital finality, the life unfolding as “reasoning” and “managing”, as “system” determined by an act of will, by consciousness and their opposites, respectively – as well as the main meaning of the raţional – as unity and multiplicity - and of the irrational as the absolutization of one of them, of synthesis or analysis. The study tackles also some “contemporary application” of the irrational and of the way in which Mircea Florian considers individuality, motion ( and development ) as wel as evolvement which he does not attribute to and principle. In motion and evolution coexist concepts like unity and plurality : motion is a process in which discontinuity and continuity blend, and development is “a gradual continuity of discontinuous qualities”; reason is not only inference, but also ”a continuously variable interdependence of unity and multiplicity, of the identica land the different”.
