Summary/Abstract: One of the most important debates between the two World Wars was the so-called generational campaign. The new, the young generation against the old generation. It was a new philosophical doctrine against the rationalism and the universalism. In România Mare, the young leaders of this new generation, Mircea Eliade, Petru Comarnescu, Constantin Noica, EmilCioran, Eugen Ionescu et cetera, developed an entire rhetoric of irony against the old generation. A very interesting field of investigation from the point of view of the history of the Romanian press.
