Nature: Sealing the Humanness. Applying Phenomenology of Life to a Romanian Artistic Work

Abstract

The geo-cosmic is a fundamental thesis in the territory of Phenomenology of Life of Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka. The great post-Husserlian project of the “Ontopoiesis of Life and the Human Condition” that the contemporary philosopher has acknowledged over the last decades in world-wide phenomenology offers us crucial ideas as regards the defining seal of the nature in making and manifesting the creative potential of human beingness/becoming. Our aim is to bring out part of the original contribution of Tymieniecka in getting pivots of a deep hermeneutics of art, under the signs of the cosmic vision, by applying it to a famous musical work of George Enescu. The Romanian Rhapsody Nr.1 for orchestrarepresents a relevant artistic creation inspired by the experience of the fundamental relation between man and nature. It is an artistic form of disclosing the application of Tymienieckan thesis about the understanding of humanness’ shaping and manifestation as “self-interpretation in life”, by linking to the matrix of nature. We get this Enescian artistic work to activating an insight through the musical language concerning the intimacy of humanness resulting within the cosmosas the ordering frame in which – as much as we have the access – we can catch part of a fitted understanding of the positioning-of-human being(ness)-in-life.
