The Philosophy of Natural Law and Ethics in Samuil Micu’s View
The Philosophy of Natural Law and Ethics in Samuil Micu’s View

Summary/Abstract: This paper reviews the scholar’s contribution to the development, in Romanian culture, of practical philosophy, mainly the philosophy of law and ethics. Familiar with the history of modern European philosophy, of the German one in particular, and being an erudite translator, Samuil Micu (1745–1806) formulated ideas, demonstrations, practical applications and substantiations with philosophical contents in various papers, mainly in his philosophical works and in the translations of some works by German philosophers. The author briefly analyses the Transylvanian scholar’s view on law and morals, highlighting its humanist and rationalist orientation, thus setting the grounds for their later development by future generations.
