TRADIłIE SI MODERNITATE ÎN GÂNDIREA LUI EUGEN LOVINESCU
Tradition and Modernity in the Eugen Lovinescu’s Thought

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with the personality of a Romanian Critic, Historian of Literature, Writer and Cultural Sociologist, key figure of Romanian cultural life debates from the first half of the 20th century. Similar to Stefan Zeletin, Lovinescu was also an adept of European character of Romanian society, but the main difference lays in the fact that since Zeletin was thinking in Economic terms, for Lovinescu European character lays in major characteristics of Romanian cultural heritage. Lovinescu was quite a solitary voice in intellectual debates of those decades, and has been violently attacked, especially by authors who were sympathisers of Extreme Right ideas, but his philosophy remains an important chapter in Romanian culture.
