Intelectualitatea românească recentă și receptarea Sinodului de la Niceea (la 1.700 de ani diferență). Nașterea Europei și noua viziune asupra demnității umane

Abstract

This article undertakes an inquiry into the positions adopted by
leading secular intellectuals of contemporary Romania, with the aim of elucidating
the specifically Romanian mode of engaging with an event that occurred seventeen
centuries ago. It foregrounds the assertion that the Council of Nicaea constituted the
embryonic moment of what would become modern Europe. Moreover, it advances a
fundamental thesis: that Europe was born through the affirmation of Transcendence,
not through its negation – as is increasingly characteristic of the present age
