Summary/Abstract: This study is aimed at throwing light on two major areas of Béla Varga’s philosophy, a prominent member of the Kolozsvár school of thought, philosopher-theologist. On the one hand his answers regarding existence, meaning and values are sought. In this respect emphasis is put on the cognitive activities of the spirit. On the other hand it is also examined how the covert general connections mentioned above are concretised in the interpretation of individuality, soul and belief. Comparison with other contemporary theories (Sándor Tavaszy, Sándor Makkai) concerning beliefs and Christian fate are also distinctly emphasised.
