Summary/Abstract: In this article are discussed the forms of the social traditionalism depicted in the important Radomir Konstantinović’s work Filosofija palanke (1969) – as the example of the timeless negative attitudes towards modernization and tolerance. The reality of Serbia in the phase of transition from traditionalist to modern society here is only one of the possible specifications of the described universal situation which possesses its characteristic features: among others – endeavour to restoring of the tribal community, authoritative and normative pedagogy, sentimental-sarcastic language, masochistic determinism, empirisation of the religion, utilitarianism of the death, loftiness of the banality, cultural infantilism or exclusion of every different character. Analysis of these and another categories, as well as history of the reception of this book, indicate that connection between conservatism, ethnic homogenization and fanaticism on behalf of tradition is close and independent from the ethnocultural and historical realities.
