This book explores the Romanian Orthodox Church's arguments on
national identity to legitimize its own place in a post-communist
Romania. The work traces the clergy's deployment of the concepts of
Christian Orthodoxy and Latin legacy as part of an uncharted
constellation of arguments in contemporary intellectual history. A
survey of public intellectuals' opinions on national identity
complements the Church's views. The investigation attempts to offer
an insight into the Church's efforts to re-assert itself, given
free rein in a post-dictatorial world of accelerated modernization.
After clarifying and surveying the Church's claims on institutional
and national identity, the book then also explores the secular
ideas on the subject. The subsequent analysis treats this material
as "speech acts" (statements doing, not only saying, something)
which are occasionally out of sync. Against a background of
secularization, the Church's rhetoric articulates a distinct line
of thought in the post-89 intellectual landscape.
