Summary/Abstract: A thinker and metaphysician of the mysteries of the world and the depths of the human soul, in his philosophical system Lucian Blaga focused on the way in which the basic elements of a culture operate within the various human communities or isolated individuals (ethnic communities, peoples, nations, personalities etc.). In order to achieve this critical analysis he resorted to the structural arrangement of the known data in a stylistic matrix of maximum generality, in which the categories of spirituality can be quantified and valued, highlighting thereby a modern vision of the cultural-historical phenomenon in time and space. Even more interesting is the application the Romanian thinker makes, by viewing the various basic issues of the Romanian culture, through the prism of categorical elements of the stylistic matrix. This is then deepened in the analysis the philosopher dedicated to the artistic phenomenon, but also to the religious one, where we detect the increased attention due to the sensitiveness of the topic, hence resulting probably Blaga’s extra objectivity regarding the structuring of religious values.
