Summary/Abstract: In spite of his vivid sympathy and understanding for scholars of the Transylvanian School, for their love of books and teaching, praising their particular efforts “to build the world in Romanian language”, including the assimilation of concepts of Western philosophy, Lucian Blaga did not hesitate to criticize their exuberance and visionary enthusiasm, which had led them to unpardonable exaggerations in point of spiritual life. Blaga’s analysis of this generous cultural subject is marked by critical accents even in his youth, when the philosopher had published the article "The Uprising of our non-Latin Fund", accents that continued in his mature years - in pondered considerations though - in his volume The Mioritic Space, and in his article “The Latinist Transylvanian School” written during the war; then, at the beginning of the sixth decade, he devoted an entire chapter to this generous subject in his scientific work The Romanian Thinking in Transylvania.
