Summary/Abstract: The scope of the present paper is to examine the conservative idea of the subject (understood as a Weber’s ideal type). It is based upon the assumption that the subject identifies itself with transcendence and community. The idea analyzed with the use of philosophical categories seems to be of paradox. The identification with the community creates the necessity of understanding tradition as a social practice, in which the difference between cognition and acting, value and fact, norm and objective knowledge, declines. Moreover, the conservative subject, searching eternal values, cannot reject modern traditions, which, as the post-Enlightenment era creation, can oppose to them.
