He started school in Sinaia, but attended the village school in P\u00e2rscov, in the Nehoiu Valley from 1955 to 1957, and often returned to the mountains during school holidays.[2] Ple\u0219u attended the Spiru Haret Lyceum in Bucharest majoring in humanities, where he graduated at the top of his class.[2]Ple\u0219u studied art history at the Bucharest National University of Arts and graduated with his bachelor’s degree in 1971. That year he accepted a post as a researcher at the Institute of Art History of the Romanian Academy. In 1972 he married Catrinel Maria Petrulian.[2] Whilst a student he had become a member of the Communist Party,[3] from which he was expelled in May 1982 due to his involvement in the so-called “Transcendental Meditation Affair”.[4] For 1975\u20131977 he received the first of his Alexander von Humboldt Foundation graduate scholarships, to study in Bonn and Heidelberg. From 1978 through 1982, along with Gabriel Liiceanu, he attended Constantin Noica’s informal and semi-clandestine lectures in P\u0103ltini\u0219. In 1980 he became a faculty lecturer in the Art department at the University of Bucharest.[5] However, in 1982 he was barred from further university teaching for “political reasons”, and took a job as a consultant for the Artists Union.[5] He received his second Alexander von Humboldt Foundation scholarship for 1983\u201384, and upon his return again worked at the Institute of Art History.[5]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In April 1989, Ple\u0219u lost his job at the Institute of Art History due to his open support of Mircea Dinescu, objected to by the communist regime. This resulted in his “exile” to Tescani, a village in Bere\u0219ti-Tazl\u0103u commune, Bac\u0103u County, and he was forbidden from publishing. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989 he was one of the founders of the “New Europe College” an institute of advanced studies, and of the cultural magazine Dilema (now Dilema Veche). He worked as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest and is now a professor at the University of Bucharest, where he teaches art history and philosophy of religion. He continues to be successful as a writer, and his books have all been well received by critics and readers.[citation needed]He also became involved in politics, serving as Romania’s Minister of Culture from 1989 to 1991, and foreign minister from 1997 to 1999. Between 2000 and 2004, Ple\u0219u was a member of the National College for the Study of the Securitate Archives; he resigned the latter office in protest against political pressures on the committee. After the 2004 elections brought Traian B\u0103sescu to the office of President of Romania, he became presidential counsellor for external affairs, a position he held until June 2005, when he resigned invoking health issues.[citation needed]Two volumes were published in 2009, honoring Ple\u0219u, both edited by Mihail Neam\u021bu and Bogdan T\u0103taru-Cazaban.[6]  The first was O filozofie a intervalului: In Honorem Andrei Ple\u0219u (A Philosophy of the Interval: In Honor of Andrei Plesu)[7] entirely in Romanian, and the second was an international Festschrift in honor of Ple\u0219u’s sixtieth birthday,[8] with essays exploring the themes of his life in the current context.[6]Philosophy[edit]Ple\u0219u’s early works revolved around art history and theory, but, in time, his essays, published in cultural magazines and elsewhere, became oriented towards cultural anthropology and philosophy.Printed volumes[edit]C\u0103l\u0103torie \u00een lumea formelor (“Journey to the world of forms”), Meridiane, 1974Pitoresc \u0219i melancolie (“The Picturesque and melancholy”), Univers, 1980Francesco Guardi, Meridiane, 1981Ochiul \u0219i lucrurile (“The eye and things”), Meridiane, 1986Minima moralia (“The moral minimum”), Cartea rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, 1988Dialoguri de sear\u0103 (“Evening dialogues”), Harisma, 1991Jurnalul de la Tescani (“The Tescani journal”), Humanitas, 1993Limba p\u0103s\u0103rilor (“The language of birds”), Humanitas, 1994Chipuri \u0219i m\u0103\u0219ti ale tranzi\u021biei (“Faces and masks of the transition”), Humanitas, 1996Transform\u0103ri, iner\u021bii, dezordini. 22 de luni dup\u0103 22 decembrie 1989 (“Transformations, inertias, disorders”. 22 months after December 22, 1989″), co-authors Petre Roman and Elena \u0218tefoi), Polirom, 2002Despre \u00eengeri (“On angels”), Humanitas, 2003Obscenitatea public\u0103 (“Public obscenity”), Humanitas, 2004Comedii la por\u021bile Orientului (“Comedies at gates of the Orient”), Humanitas, 2005Despre bucurie \u00een Est \u0219i \u00een Vest \u0219i alte eseuri (“About Joy in East and West and other essays”), Humanitas, 2006Despre frumuse\u021bea uitat\u0103 a vie\u021bii (“About the Forgotten Beauty of Life”), Humanitas, 2011Parabolele lui Iisus.
