Abstract
The article seeks to present the concept of space of the Romanian thinker Lucian Blaga (1895- 1961). The author of the article presents the main assumptions of Blaga's philosophy of culture, as presented in his work Trilogia culturii. One of its premises is the existence of deep, unconscious spatial horizons that condition many basic cultural forms, and which the Romanian philosopher contrasts with surface landscapes, which emerge through direct sensory perception. Blaga’s concept of spatial horizon relies on the analyses of pastoral space (spaţiul mioritic): an undulating spatial horizon, a source for the Romanian spirit. The article contrasts Blaga’s thinking with an alternative concept developed by Vasile Băncili, who considers the steppe landscape, characteristic of the south-eastern Danubian areas of Romania (Câmpia Bărăganului, Brăgan plain), to be equally significant for Romanian spirituality.
