Riegl, Worringer Și „Lecturile Infidele” Ale Stilului În Estetica Lui Lucian Blaga

Abstract This study aims to illustrate the original assimilation of style in Lucian Blaga’s philosophy. His concept (or idea) of style is developed from the Philosophy of style to the Trilogies, being tributary to the idealistic philosophy and to the Vienna School of Art History. Of course, this inspiration does not represent an innocent reading of different German studies. By invoking Alois Riegl’s “will of art” or Wilhelm Worringer’s dichotomy between “abstraction” and “empathy”, Blaga identifies the weaknesses from their work. Without giving up the contradictory and vulnerable aspects, he integrates and assimilates them in his philosophical and aesthetic system.
