Summary/Abstract: The goal of the present article is to attempt a comparison between the concepts of folk culture in works of Stanisław Vincenz and Romanian philosopher Lucian Blaga. The juxtaposition essentially pertains to two areas. The first of them are the similarities of the theoretical concepts, especially visible in the approaches towards the deep structures of the folk culture, or pre‑modern culture (that was put in a strong contrast against the modern culture by the two thinkers), its spatiotemporal aspects as well as its culture‑creating functions. The second area of comparison is the similarity in personal formation between the Pole and the Romanian, which includes the cultural circle they originate from; the historical context, in which their concepts appeared; as well as intellectual influences they were subjected to together with their idealogical fundaments.
