Diana PĂULEȚ. My research interests lie in transcendental philosophy, theories of truth, philosophy of language, logic, hermeneutics, and philosophy of science. These themes constitute the framework of my doctoral research project, The Transcendental Difference and the Problem of Truth, which examines the concept of truth through the philosophical dialogue between Kant, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and the tradition of analytic philosophy, while also exploring its implications for contemporary philosophy of science. My research has been presented at several doctoral conferences in philosophy, where I have addressed topics such as Tarski's definition of truth, the relationship between Kant's and Heidegger's conceptions of truth in the context of the transcendental difference, and the transcendental dimension of Wittgenstein's philosophy. Through these studies, I investigate the intersections between truth, language, logic, and the transcendental conditions of meaning and knowledge.
