Abstract
The paper aims to query Transylvania's history in the 18th century, a new perspective that targets how European
Enlightenment was received and capitalized by various social, confessional, communautarian and linguistic
groups that lived in the region. It contextualizes, conceptualizes and suggests a re-definition of identity policies in
Transylvania at the beginning of modernity, by reflecting on contradictions resulting through the association of
enlightened and romantics ideas.
