Virgil Nemoianu (Romanian pronunciation: [vir'd??il nemo'janu], born March 12, 1940) is a Romanian-American essayist, literary critic, and philosopher of culture.
He is generally described as a specialist in "comparative literature" but this is a somewhat limiting label, only partially covering the wider range of his activities and accomplishments.
His thinking places him at the intersection of neo-Platonism and neo-Kantianism, which he turned into an instrument meant to qualify, channel, and tame the asperities, as well as what he regarded the impatient accelerations and even absurdities of modernity and post-modernity.
He chose early on to write within the intellectual horizons outlined by Goethe and Leibniz and continued to do so throughout his life.
