Summary/Abstract: Based on the folk Romanian thinking, Mircea Vulcănescu proposed a systematic and original ontology which resembles rather the Presocratic visions than the post-Platonic European philosophy. In Vulcănescu’s view, time is kairotic and the ontological principle has an ordering function, not a creative one. Being is not viewed as a stable presence, but as change and becoming.
