Unlike the quatrains, where history unfolds from the very time of the Prophet's life, the Epistle is limited to the modern age, where the phenomenon of communism is most developed, just as Nostradamus had promised in the Prèface to his son Caesar” – Introduction, pg. 46.

2001. Brâncuşi şi transcendenţa obiectivĂ, Ed. Semne, București, România.

Brâncuşi şi Transcendența Obiectivă (Brâncuşi and Objective Transcendence), Ed. Semne, București, România, 8vo, 104 pages. The author situates Brâncuși within some artistic currents, contemporary with the Romanian sculptor, with which the artist's work comes into conflict through fundamentally and categorically antagonistic positions. Ionescu shows that it is about the response of spirituality and traditional values to the heresies of the modern world, which have also infested the art world. Brâncuși's novelty as an artist is to consider the world "in mystery and revelation", to use Blaga's terms, in the search for simple monads, loaded with formative potential, which precede and even generate the terminal structures of the knowable world.

Nostradamus and the Dogmatic Skepticism, Two American Presidents: Richard Nixon and W.J. Clinton.

Nostradamus and the Dogmatic Skepticism. Two American Presidents in the Nostradamian Prophecies: Richard Nixon -- Watergate and the Vietnam war and W.J. Clinton -- The impeachment and the War for Kosovo. 8vo, 182 pages. A Nostradamian reply to the ideology of dogmatic skepticism, recently manifested in the book The Mask of Nostradamus of one of its coryphées, “the amazing Randi", who makes a pitiful attempt to “unmask" the Prophet. The methods of the so called “scientific investigation" of James Randi, who, together with Paul Kurtz and Martin Gardner (representatives of CSICOP), form the holy trinity of dogmatic skepticism in America, are anti-scientific, lack logic and elementary documentation, use false quotations, and prove inexcusable ignorance. The analysis is not only critical but also constructive, offering some models of correct solutions, responding to the readers’ need for an alternative to the naive interpretations of American publications, which have succeeded in distorting the text’s meaning and the true significance of the Nostradamian Phenomenon.

Written in 1999. Prepared for printing.
