Abstract
It is my intention to argue in this article, following a series of Romanian writings appeared between 1940-1943, that Emil Cioran pursues his master, Nae Ionescu, on his program of radical thinking. The latter, known as the “Professor of doubt”, had a decisive role in changing the cultural conventions in Romania and also the way of philosophizing in the interwars period.
This text also aims to show that Cioran is interested in understanding the deepest acts of thinking on the base of an experience flow, which he considers to be a “lyrical way”, a way that can be grasped using an analogy with the phenomenological method.
