Conservatorul în epoca sa: Constantin Rădulescu-Motru
The conservative in Constantin Rădulescu-Motru's time.

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the roots, and to identify the main trends of Constantin Rădulescu Motru's political thought, as it evolved between 1901 and 1934. The choice of this intellectual and philosopher is highly significant, since he was during in his early days a fully-fledged conservative, and later changed his political allegiance, joining the ranks of the National Peasant Party. This apparently inexplicable metamorphosis is to be placed in the context of a Romanian political and cultural background deprived of a credible conservative party after 1922/1923: hence, the paradoxical condition which compelled Rădulescu-Motru to seek a political force able to express his early opinions, and his attempt to maintain his profoundly conservative views about mankind and society.
