În Timaeus, dialogul asupra căruia ne vom opri astăzi, Platon prezintă o relatare elaborată a formării universului și o explicație a ordinii și frumuseții sale impresionante. Universul, propune el, este produsul unei entități raționale, bine intenționate și binefăcătoare. Este opera unui Meșter divin ("Demiurge", dêmiourgos, 28a6) care, fiind un...

Un intelectual nu poate fi decât un om liber. Și numai un om liber poate fi un om de geniu, un intelectual. Căci omul liber nu se supune decât naturii și naturii lui Dumnezeu, el se supune în primul rând legilor văzute ale unui cosmos (greacă veche κόσμος) fără de sfârșit și fără de început. Astfel, cu bucurie, prin a...

Este vorba de bunul meu prieten, domnul Iulian Stancu, unul dintre cei mai enigmatici artiști contemporani români pe care l-aș putea asemăna, oricând, în mod indubitabil, cu Ștefan Luchian sau chiar cu Ipolit Strâmbu (pictori monument despre care am scris, cu multă dăruire, în urmă cu ceva ani).
Fericirea, fără îndoială, poartă însemnele Sacralităţii, determinându-te să te reverşi dincolo de graniţele propriei fiinţe. Flux, continuitate, expansionism, uniune - astfel se caracterizează fericirea. Intuitiv, s-ar putea vorbi atât despre fericirea colectivă, cât şi despre cea individuală, punându-se problema dacă se întrepătrund sau se...

Artesane Studio is an independent, multilingual, peer-reviewed humanities interdisciplinary magazine with a global readership of 448,489 unique organic visitors (Nov 1, 2017 – Feb 12, 2026). Anchored in political and continental philosophy, theology and metaphysical inquiry, critical theory, civilizational analysis, and devotional arts, the publication explores the intersection of art and intellectual life. Through essays, treatises, and poetic works, Artesane Studio investigates power and propaganda, transcendence, identity, and the delicate architecture of truth in the modern age. Beyond the written word, the project extends into curated cultural experiences, cultivating a refined space where scholarship and aesthetic discernment converge.
PARTNERS SUPPORTERS COMMUNITY (001) Galleries World-renowned art museum (002) Conservation Cultural heritage institutions (003) Print Media Established cultural magazines DISCOVERAt its heart, Artesane Studio Magazine operates on the following premise: that art is not solely an aesthetic pursuit, but a medium of transcendence. It possesses the unique power to engender bridges, spark intellectual curiosity, and deepen our collective communion with the world's ancestral continuum. The commitment to such intercultural exchange arises from a conviction both simple and radical: that the arts offer the most luminous lens through which the dense complexities of identity and memory may be deciphered. By approaching these narratives with epistemic humility, an empathetic engagement with the "other" is attained, transforming the meeting into a form of kinship. Guided by intellectual courage and fidelity to epistemic honesty, the unspoken nuances of the world are drawn into the light. It is here that great art finds its breath — not only in isolation, but at its crossroads of intuition, intellect, and curation mastery. Therefore, in this shared space, the act of creation ceases to be a solitary endeavor. It becomes, instead, an unfolding voyage of discovery — a dialogue that honors the refinements of high culture while remaining profoundly anchored in the human condition. These principles serve as the raison d'être for a new cultural "palimpsest of becoming".
NEW INVITATION Scholars and attentive readers are called to engage with a space where art and the humanities meet in order to confront the realities of atemporality. The research follows a unifying thread aimed at shaping a clear and strong intellectual identity — the individual node of authority (INA). Therefore, by sustaining the role of public intellectual engagement, Artesane Studio offers a place for kaleidoscopic reflection, where the tensions of contemporary life are examined with the depths of kairos and ethical awareness of its Aristotelian ethos. Current studies flows across the borders of Philosophy, Intelligence, and Science, tracing the evolving interplay between Technology and the Human Experience. By weighing the forces of globalization and critical theory against historical continuities, we explore how the synergy of Art, Cognition, and Politics shapes the very narratives through which civilizations understand themselves.
