  Article:   TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH OF IMAGINATION AND ANGELS - THE TRANSCULTURAL HIDDEN THIRD: FROM ANDREI PLEŞU TO BASARAB NICOLESCU.

  Abstract:  Imagination is involved in a key-process within the construction of self-identity: interpretation as an exercise into self-consciousness. The angel is the perfect cultural expression of imagination (understood also as inspiration) and interpretation (angelus interpres). This paper takes Andrei Pleşu’s innovative interpretation of the worlds of angels and grafts them upon Basarab Nicolescu’s theories about the possibility of a hidden trans-cultural element able to work as a catalyst in the genesis of reality. The aim of this paper is to outline the constitutive power of intermediary zones within the algorithms of social visions and perspectives. This paper is not an argument for a new religion (angelology) but an attempt to find, by means of a transdisciplinary approach, a fertile intermediary dialogical and interpretative element able to transcend all religious prejudices and unite all transcendental intuitions through this very transcendence.
