    Arthur Schopenhauer’s Mirror: The Will, the Suffering, the Compassion as Philosophical Challenges.Ana Bazac - 2019 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia:195-225.
    Arthur Schopenhauer’s Mirror: the Will, the Suffering, the Compassion as Philosophical Challenges. In philosophy, the celebration of Arthur Schopenhauer has already ended. Only the last year was anniversary (of his birth and of the publication of the first volume of The World as Will and Representation), but the importance of this non-conformist creator is never superfluous to highlight. In this article, there is, certainly, a very limited/selective focus on the thinking of Schopenhauer, and no biographical approach: the goal is only (...)

    (1 other version)Knowledge, Opinion, Belief: The Dialectical Challenging.Ana Bazac - forthcoming - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia:7-30.
    This paper is written in the continental tradition – facing the analytic one – and advocates the knowledge first thesis, reviewing the entailment thesis (where believing is knowing, because to know entails to believe). It starts from the ancient distinction between knowledge and opinion and develops criteria for distinguishing knowledge, opinion and belief. The demonstration necessarily arrives to the kinds of beliefs and thus, to the relationships between knowledge and these kinds. While the distinction of kinds of beliefs leads to (...)

    Person—for Me, and Object—for the Other?Ana Bazac - 2015 - Dialogue and Universalism 25 (2):104-115.
    The problem sketched here in a non-conformist phenomenological manner concerns the transition from the theory of the self-sufficient individual to the theories of the social character of human being, and to the theoretical possibility to control the social asymmetries opposing to its fulfilment.

    Aristotle, the Names of Vices and Virtues.Ana Bazac - 2017 - Dialogue and Universalism 27 (4):175-188.
    In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle has given a tableau of the desirable virtues and their infringement through the surpassing of their limits. Thus, every virtue is framed or delimited by vices that represent either its excess or its deficiency. However, this type of defining is related to deep, metaphysical reasons: since every being, especially the living one, has its telos. Man’s telos is to practise and fulfil his human specificity, i.e. reason, and reason is the measure/quality of virtue as such; (...)

    The Endlessness of Work?Ana Bazac - 2008 - Proceedings of the Xxii World Congress of Philosophy 22:17-43.
    Starting from the counter-position of the traditional model of labour and the traditional aim and ideal of a good life, the paper emphasises that philosophy had to solve the problem of the possibility to generalise the model of a creative and pleasant life. Therefore the goal of the paper is two-fold. The one is to question thenecessity of labour from the standpoint of the rebel thinking transfigured in the literature of laziness as alternative to the ancient tradition of hard labouring. (...)

    The Meaning of Kant’s Attitude Towards the Technical Instruments of Science in the Atmosphere of Enlightenment.Ana Bazac - 2024 - Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Philosophia 69 (3):7-24.
    I mention the main, technophile and technophobe, positions towards technology in the Western 18th century, as the criterion of this paper. Then I show that, however unexpected would this be, the concept of technics – opening the problem of technics – was explicitly present within the transcendental philosophy. From its multiple meanings outlined in the logic of this philosophy, I focus on the technical instruments of science. Kant considered them optimistically, but insisted that they are only means subordinated to the (...)

    The Problem of the Coexistence of the Concept of Human Nature and Racism.Ana Bazac - 2021 - Dialogue and Universalism 31 (1):139-156.
    Although the concept of human nature may seem problematic, its a-historical essentialism can be used to show the fall of modern European philosophy into the historical pit of unsolvable contradictions. This paper explores the problems of logical contradictions between the modern and universalistic concept of human nature and the discriminative model of inferior-superior humans, mainly illustrated by racism. First, this paper shows that the concept of human nature is valid beyond the arguments related to evolution and social contexts, although the (...)
