Petre Andrei – Omul și opera

I intercepted the personality of the philosopher and sociologist Petre Andrei during my student years, by printing, under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, under the coordination of Mircea Mâciu, Petre Andrei. Sociological Works, 1983, but, especially through documents, texts, writings of Petre Andrei, which, in a thoughtful order, before ’89, uncle Pichi, son Petru P. Andrei presented to us for study and research. This is how the Petre Andrei project began, to which the son of the scientist, the historian Valeriu Florin Dobrinescu and other colleagues attracted us under his coordination.Initially, this project aimed at editing and re-editing „without corsets” the communist censorship of the life and work of Petre Andrei, the activity carried out in intellectual circles and circles, in political, governmental, parliamentary activity.This is how I initiated the Petre Andrei series, The Man and the Opera, in which I edited his Omnia opera, in different editions, bilingual, Romanian, and English.Subsequently, in 1991, I founded the Petre Andrei Academic Foundation, within which the UPA was established, Petru Andrei being the President and, respectively, their Founding Rector.In 1991 Petre Andrei has received post-mortem member of the Romanian Academy, and in 2001 the same high academic forum awarded Professor Petru Andrei and me the IoanPetrovici Prize, for the editorial activity submitted in promoting the work of the scientist.
