Vasile Voia

Vasile Voia este profesor de literatura comparata la Universitatea „Babes-Bolyai” din Cluj-Napoca.

In cariera sa a practicat consecvent un comparatism modern, deopotriva teoretic si aplicativ, nonfactologic, orientat spre filosofie si estetica, spre investigarea critica a ideilor si temelor si prioritar spre studiile de germanistica.

V. Voia reprezinta linia de continuitate intre mai vechea scoala comparatista clujeana, reprezentata de Liviu Rusu, de la care se revendica, si orientarile actuale specializate care se fac simtite in interiorul unei noi si remarcabile catedre de literatura universala si comparata. Doctoratul in 1977 cu prof. Liviu Rusu.
