Author Description

Throughout the content of her book, RatioSophia, Elena Petresteanu puts us face to face with a method that guides the rational - to super-rational, and seeks the truth of a world tested and proved by means of philosophy, theology and science. This reflexive task, original through the inter-disciplinary contents it puts forward, reclaims the two traditional discourses of relational analysis of the universe and the individual as entities, and respectively as beings, in an unconventional formula, which RatioSophia embraces in the form of an authentic and equally autonomous thought system. However, attempting the synergy of social, mystical, physical, metaphysical, theological, anthropological and mathematical, into a coherent unitary model, capable of activating genealogically and archeologically all the demands of rigor and understanding of the universe and the individual at their core being, is not only a methodological and conceptual effort, but also an act of bringing coherence to traditions...The intellectual mission that Elena Petresteanu takes on in the pages of the book RatioSophia is at the service of this attempt. Through RatioSophia, the author ascertains the theory of complementarity in relation to a thinking that assists hermeneutically the moments of crisis and progress of a theory dedicated to cosmosis, by which "faith becomes intelligible, and science becomes sensible". (Petresteanu 2016, 7) In the research of complementarity, the author sets forth the nuclear pattern for a dynamic proto-rapport, capable of meeting the metaphysical objectives both conceptually and methodologically, solving the issue of the interdisciplinary synergy in an innovative and original manner in 406 pages of analysis and critical thinking over the meaning we can correlatively give to the predestined nature of the world and the individual. By means of Aristotle, Thomas, Descartes, Spinoza, and Hegel, Elena Petresteanu ́s volume opens up a metaphysical incursion gathered around
