This is the first book in English on Lucian Blaga (1895-1961), Romania's principal philosopher, a leading poet, playwright, and a diplomat before being appointed in 1938 to the chair of philosophy of culture, especially created for him in Cluj in his native Transylvania. It has been published before any of Blaga's philosophical works have been translated into English. Readers of Appraisal are among the few in the English-speaking world who have read anything about his philosophy.

It is hoped that the publication of this book will promote interest in Blaga's philosophy in the English-speaking world, and result in translation of Blaga's philosophical works into English.
