În căutarea sensului pierdut vol. I - Întâlnirea cu destinul

by Dumitru Constantin Dulcan

Profesorul univ. dr. Dumitru Constantin-Dulcan este medic neurolog si psihiatru, autor a numeroase monografii, tratate, lucrari si carti de certa valoare stiintifica dar si eseistica, cu ample deschideri spre fascinantele domenii ale Filosofiei Stiintei. Cartea sa "Inteligenta materiei", un best seller cautat si astazi, a fost distinsa cu premiul pentru filosofie "Vasile Conta" al Academiei Romane (1992). Este membru al unor prestigioase societati stiintifice nationale si internationale, autor de brevete de inventii, titular al unor importante cursuri universitare, precum si detinator a numeroase premii stiintifice si literare obtinute in tara si strainatate.
Cartea "In cautarea sensului pierdut" reflecta, cu talent si caldura, imaginea satului sau de odinioara, cu morala sa robusta, cu inteligentele sale neprelucrate, dar reale, cu bogatia traditiilor si cutumelor, cu visele si sperantele oamenilor. Copilaria, adolescenta, plecarea de acasa, studentia, perioadele de formare, calatoriile, oamenii pe care i-a intalnit, preuit si iubit - sunt tot atatea prilejuri pentru amintire si gand. Si, peste toate, parfum de respect, prietenie, dragoste, bucurie si speranta.

About the author

Dumitru Constantin Dulcan is a neurologist and a psychiatrist with a doctorate in medical sciences and an ample opening towards the philosophy of science.
Practicing medicine in the army, he was given the opportunity to make progress in brain research and gain insight into the importance of our thoughts for our organism and surroundings. A journey to China introduced him to acupuncture, which he began to study thoroughly. Dumitru Constantin Dulcan is a member of numerous national and international scientific societies and owner of many scientific and literary awards.
His most famous work, "The Intelligence of the Matter", was first published in 1981 and represented a shock for Romanians everywhere, sparking the interest of a wide range of readers - biologists, psychologists, physicists, computer scientists, philosophers, sociologists and even clergymen. The "official" reception, however, was far from exceptional, due to the communist regime. That is why, although highly appreciated among its readers and considered a best-seller at the time, the book was soon withdrawn from the proposals for The Romanian Academy Awards and "silenced".
In 1992, a revised second edition was published, on which occasion, "The Intelligence of the Matter" was distinguished with the "Vasile Conta" Award of the Romanian Academy.
The Formula As magazine states about this book that it is "A book which unsettled the Romanian scientific world because it had the courage to bring into discussion an outlook on the world and the Universe which had seemed lost for ever. The times were those of the dialectic materialism and words such as "soul" had lost all significance. The world was but a machinery, and so were the people. The consciousness was but "the product of the matter superiorly organised". God had been banished from the world of man, in the name of a new restrictive science, whose eyes were covered by blinders."

Mesajul pe care îl iau din carte: “Viața trebuie trăită pentru a cunoaște. Ca ființe raționale ni s-a dat această șansă.”

I am a fan of C Dulcan’s books and this is definitely a good book to read but not one of his best. I think this is like a pre read of ‘Inteligenta Materiei’ or ‘Mintea de Dincolo’ - some sort of make of, which is also more an autobiography than his typical medical writings that I hoped to get.

[Catalina Soare · Rating 3 out of 5]

A testimony book of the voyage of a boy from a poor family in the Romanian countryside in the postwar period to a respected doctor, intellectual and university professor. With a lot of respect for the people met on the way up, and with some hints on the difficulty to access books and resources and think differently from what was tolerated by the regime.

primul volum plin de multumiri. să vedem ce e in al doilea.

[Iubitor de carti · Rating 5 out of 5]

Recomand cu mare căldură! Primul volum e mai mult autobiografic, dar am găsit multe lucruri interesante și utile aici. (pragmatismul ce ma domină în ultima perioadă!)

[Andreea Dumitru]

Such a waste of time.

O carte interesantă cu viața autorului din copilărie până în vremurile de acum.Mi-a plăcut.

Traim cu convingerea ferma ca noi suntem singurii responsabili pentru destinul nostru, ca intotdeauna facem optiuni dupa propria noastra vointa. Aflat acum la ora de bilant a existentei mele, nu mai am aceasta convingere. Matematicianul american de origine romana, Georgescue-Roegan, scria intr-o carte publicata mai demult la noi ca, chiar daca suntem convinsi ca in viata alegem noi, timpul ulterior ne arata ca n-am ales decat ceea ce trebuia sa alegem.

Marturisesc, cu regret, ca impactul meu cu orasul a insemnat o mare dezamagire. Nu eram croit pentru lumea superficiala, egosita, agresiva, zeflemitoare si falsa pe care o intalneam mult mai frecvent decat in cea a satului din care veneam. Eram mult prea serios pentru lumea in care intram si, din copilul sanatos, binedispus si daruit cartii, am devenit un introvertit revoltat si intolerant cu superficilalitatea si amuzamentul gratuit al celor de langa care eram obligat sa convietuiesc.

Aici l-am cunoscut pe omul DULCAN Constantin.
Câtă pasiune era in educatie încă din primii ani de scoala la profesorii vremii, chiar daca erau la tara.Țăranul roman autentic ce a fost odată, este descris lăsând o urma de nostalgie pentru cei de astazi!!!
