About the special guest – Romulus Brâncoveanu

Romulus Brâncoveanu was born on February 4, 1957, in Conțești, Teleorman County. He studied philosophy and history at the University of Bucharest, where he later became a professor of political philosophy and dean of the Faculty of Philosophy. He has published numerous scholarly articles and books and is the editor-in-chief of the international journal of political and moral philosophy, Public Reason.

As a poet, he made his debut in 1974 in Luceafărul magazine and published his first poetry volume in 1982. His poetry collections include The Second Life of D.Q. (1991), Reply (2021), Estimp (2023), and Noica’s Shadow at Densuș (2023). Literary critics describe him as a poet with a great imaginative force, a discursive writing style, and a complex poetic vision.
