Summary/Abstract: My work starts from the assumption that there is a proletcultist philosophy. What follows next are only a few chapters and it represents only the first steps in proving the truth of this supposition. The first part of this study aims to reconceptualise and reinterpret the proletcult period in Romania. The second section highlights aspects linked to the impact of the Proletckult in the Russian society. Furthermore, it includes a redefinition of proletcultism itself. The events which unfolded in society during the proletcult period are reflected in the culture and philosophy of the proletariat. The proletcultism, in philosophy, is a liquidation program of the philosophy, of termination of any effort of thinking. Jdanov’s work, a soviet citizen, is a work with a programmatic character. The Romanians followed in the proletcult period the soviet models. “Jdanovism” is the analysis of Andrey Alexandrovich Jdanov’s work “On G. F. Alexandrov’s The History of Western Philosophy.” This paper includes a number of prescriptions that form the model for discussing proletcultist philosophy.
