Summary/Abstract: The entire European ideology of the XIXth century is built upon the antinomy tradition-modernity, according to which the great thinkers set their schools of thought. Lovinescu's synchronism brings along this antinomy, at the beginning of the XXth century, in order to later explain the development path that Romania had to follow. Nowadays, in the united Europe, the classic antinomy is surpassed, tradition and modernity co-exist and forge forms of the contemporary civilisation.
