Summary/Abstract: Lucian Blaga (1895-1961), the famous Romanian philosopher who started as a poet and took his PhD in Philosophy and Biology in Vienna is our contemporary, illustrating the spiritual changes at the borders between modernism and postmodernism; he is meant to be studied from the perspective of the postmodernist metaphysics of religion. Lucian Blaga was a writer, playwright, journalist, professor and librarian who had a vast work; as a philosopher he is a unique author of philosophical system, in the Romanian philosophy where his “deconstructionism” is the fact that Blaga “deconstructs” Rigveda by the analysis of the word Brahman - considered a meta-physical being descending into the subjective history of the common human being - specifying that, because of the mentality about the sacrifier as a historical being and God at the same time, the vedic believer “takes courage” towards the deities, loses humility, gaining in return “boldness towards gods”.
