Summary/Abstract: In this article we intended to outline several characteristics of the idea of ‘historicity’ as understood by three Romanian thinkers: M. Vulcănescu, Gh. I. Brătianu, and V. Băncilă. In our opinion, the common element that crossed their works was precisely historicity as a spiritual synthesis in the milieu of a given community that sought to express itself at a universal level. They pertained to different spiritual spheres: metaphysics and orthodox spirituality (Vulcănescu), history and law (Brătianu), and philosophy of culture (Băncilă), yet there was a point where their ideas met each other: the Romanian spirituality.
