Summary/Abstract: The theological approach of Nichifor Crainic provokes the world to dialogue, providing a coherent Christian vision of the meaning of universal history and also of the historical evolution of our culture and spirituality in the wider context of European culture. The concept of „pseudo morphosis” defines, according to Crainic’s own formulation, „the capture of a primitive soul in the foreign forms of an advanced culture.” In his diagnosis of Romanian culture and civilization, as well as of Orthodox theology, the Romanian theologian meets, to a certain extent, the critique of „forms without substance”. Nichifor Crainic sees only one way out of the impasse, consisting in abandoning the lost way and returning to the real sources of Romanian culture and spirituality.
