Lumea ca miniatură la Pamuk / The World as a miniature at Pamuk
Abstract. Pamuk’s most famous novel, and the most valuable, My Name is Red, is constructed in such a way that we can clearly see the membranes that make up the world: some are the membranes of good, others the membranes of truth, beauty, justice or love; all together intertwine and give a brilliant improvement in which good, truth, beauty coexist or fight, and justice and love, sought from the beginning to the end, emerge victorious. The paper approaches from an inter and multidisciplinary perspective (philosophy, literature, ethics, aesthetics) the problem of the membranes of the world as a miniature in Pamuk.

Realitatea în interpretările mecanicii cuantice / Reality in the interpretations of quantum mechanics
Abstract.To understand how contemporary physics approaches the realm of reality, I will describe some interpretations of quantum mechanics proposed in recent years. Reasons why these interpretations were chosen are numerous. First of all, we can have a view from several perspectives on reality according to the new currents of thought in physics and philosophy of physics. Secondly, by analyzing the arguments of these theories, one will be able to understand how the ideas proposed in a work (Docze, 2021) relate to certain peculiarities of contemporary interpretations. Thus, I will detail some more difficult aspects, including: the relational character of reality and potentialities, the direction of investigating the world from the whole to the parts, the role of the epistemological surface in creating multiple realities, the role of information and its representation at the level of consciousness, etc.

Poate constitui principiul holografic punctul de vedere pentru un demers transdisciplinar? / Can the holographic principle be starting poinr for a transdisciplinary approach?
Abstract. The central idea of the essay is that abstractions are in fact the bearer of significance in a very condensed way. The idea of holography is to symbolize the fact that there is a possibility that information describing a very large aspect of reality can be condensed in a very “small space”. “Deep” information is a name for that kind of condensed “description” and it has a strong connection to abstraction, significance, consciousness and equivalence relation. Symbols create representation in the same way, by revealing a hidden sense to concrete objects or concrete aspects of life. Psychological archetypes are correlated to the concept of “mind-matter” of David Bohm, to that of “informatter” and “structural-phenomenological” aspects of exploring reality of Mihai Drăgănescu.

Gândirea (filosofico-politică) cu obiectul: despre obiect şi umbre / Thinking (philosophical-political) with the object: about the object and shadows
Abstract. Central concept, frequently included in encyclopedias and in philosophical dictionaries (focal node of the Stanford, Cambridge or Oxford editions), the object is approached as an expression of philosophical requests validating the fact that things/objects constitute the concrete matter/product of a specific difference (even in the register of the propagation of a vague ontology and in the view of contradictory opinions – Thomasson, 2007), or is considered valuable in an abstract form (Jacquette, 1999; Wetzel, 2009,) but also from the perspective of a disarticulated/dismembered view, of the object as language and message (Laycock, 2006). The objects and their investigation are missing from the research and from the projects in order to deepen the essential aspects, specific to the field of political philosophy. In this sense, the present study reevaluates the Introductive and the Preface notes from the volume, Viorella Manolache (coord.), 41 de Umbre ale Obiectelor în Filosofia Politică, Editura Institutului de Științe Politice și Relații Internaționale “Ion I. C. Brătianu” al Academiei Române Publishing House, Bucharest, 2018.

Mihai Drăgănescu: Ontology and Information Model
Abstract. Our article presents the functional architecture of the ontological-informational model belonging to Mihai Draganescu. It is based on a fundamental principle, that of information, which gives it a very original perspective. Considering that the most important feature is the nature of the Dragănescean approach (metaphysical / theological / composite), at the end of the paper, we shall suggest a discussion on this topic.

Remembering Marioara Godeanu – past stories about the future. First episode: an overall look over an outstanding career
Abstract. This article underlines the professional life of Professor Dr. Marioara Godeanu (1938 – 2012), a remarkable scientist and eminent scientific personality. The author highlights the achievements by Dr. Marioara Godeanu, who left an impressive scientific legacy in the fields of ecology, ecophysiology, and wastewater treatment. She conducted research into the aquatic and swamp plants of the Danube Delta and the biology and ecology of organisms in the water supply and sewage, and waste-water treatment. She also explored borderline phenomena, such as the energo-informational aspect in living and non-living structures. She had an outstanding academic life, publishing over 150 scientific articles, notes, and papers, and writing several books, on very interesting subjects such as the bioenergetic phenomena in ecosystems, the energy and informational aspects in living systems, and about plant physiology and photosynthesis. She contributed at the creation of 20 pilot stations to track the efficiency of micro- and macrophyte plants in water purification. Dr. Godeanu had also an intensive academic activity by lecturing at several prestigious universities in Romania. She was the author of numerous patents, inventions, and innovations, nationally and internationally recognised. But probably the most important highlight of her phenomenal work career wereas her studies on „greenhouse phenomena” in non-conventional constructions.

În marginile unei cercetări de psiholingvistică aplicată / In the margims of an applied psyholinguisyics research
Abstract. Three are the conditions that, met, are likely to validate existence, i.e. the autonomy status of any „classical” research science or field, including interdisciplinary fields such as, for example, biochemistry or astrophysics. This is also the case with psycholinguistics as an interdisciplinary science. The first refers to the identification and delimitation of one’s own object, distinct from that of other sciences or fields of research. The second refers to the development of a methodology and the establishment/choice of appropriate study methods for the collection and interpretation of facts that have their place, that is, they occur in the reality of the defined domain by identifying the object. The third condition necessarily involves carrying out, on the basis of specific theory and methodology, applied research leading to a better understanding and, above all, to improving the functioning, in connection with human practice, of the various components and processes specific to each field. As far as psycholinguistics is concerned, as an interdisciplinary science, its own object is what, generically, is contained in the phrase human communication, considered in its entirety. The article reviews the fulfillment of the three conditions.
