Summary/Abstract: The Romanian traditional culture has successive layers and makes up what Lucian Blaga called a vernacular philosophical constant, or a form of proto-philosophy. This cultural model, actually the first Romanian view upon the world, is a synthesis of logos and mythos, but rather a form of Romanian ethos . Seen in this context, the process of humanization of the ancient world, based on the cultural model of temporality, is the foundation of the cyclic evolution of the world, and finds its full structure in the traditional fairy tale. Keywords: traditional culture, recent culture, proto-philosophy, vernacular humanism, temporality, myth, legend, fairy tale.
