Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The study presents the configuration of the tolerance level of Europe at the end of twentieth century. The attitude of non-discrimination and contextual understanding of reality are the basic dimensions of the concept. They are operationalized by data of World Value Survey, 1990-1997 for 25 countries. Results of cluster analysis indicate that there are three Europe from the point of view of tolerance: post-communist, catholic and protestant ones. Country context, status context and personal values are the main predictors of tolerance indicators. Religion-tolerance relation is considered in a detailed manner.

Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): In this paper we argue that de-mythification in Easter Europe is a way of doing cultural reforms. In addition, we outline a model of how intellectual myths are working. The norms and the values operating in these countries are one of the most important resources of the ongoing transitions, and the intellectuals are one of the most important agents that manage them. The intellectual myths use the basic values of the intellectual fields and their redefinition has a direct impact on the society through the opinion makers and through curricular reforms. Using a thematic content analysis and some data obtain through questionnaire, we are describing the structure of the positions of some Romanian intellectuals with regard to the myth of Mihai Eminescu (the Romanian foremost poet), and then we draw a structure of the myth. The data are indicating that the structure of the myth is a function of the process in which are engaged the agents, mythification and demitification, and is stratified in a common semantic core and a variable semantic periphery. The victorious fraction of these kinds of battle can diffuse their own definitions, or in other words, they access power. The state is indirectly part in this confrontation by his institutional aid that is being given by different political fraction of the intellectual elite. A practical conclusion is that the state can intervene more strongly in the modernization of the values of the intellectual field assisting those orientations that are more open to modernity.

Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The paper explores contemporary values that guide behaviour in intimate relationships. The approach is comparative, focusing on eight countries (Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy). The Analysis is structured in three parts:
1. A theoretical discussion concerning the changes in intimate relationships brought about by modernization. The discussion is centred on the concepts of romantic love and pure relationship (A. Giddens)
2. Comparative analysis of eight countries mentioned above (1999), concerning four issues:
• Family behaviour,
• Tolerance towards non-conventional intimate behaviours (homosexuality, prostitution, abortion, divorce, casual sex, adultery),
• Requirements for a good marriage, and
• Valuing participation of women in paid work.
3. Comparative analysis of the Romanian society in the period of 1993-1999, assessing the changes that appeared along the same for directions.
