Oare istoria ideilor poate spune ceva despre doctorat şi plagiat?
Does the history of ideas have something to say on doctorate and plagiarism?

Summary/Abstract: Originally intended as an article for the public, where I formulated my assumptions and conclusions in a more allusive rather than explicit manner, aiming to urge the reader to a spontaneous and assumed reflection on the questions I provided him with, the following lines are a reflection on the originality status of a scientific work. I approached the subject from a historical and critical perspective and I implicitly advocated the following sentences: 1. The contemporary conception of originality is affected by cultural assumptions of modernity favouring independence reflection on the author and his independence of the tradition he originates from. 2. Originality cannot be thought out outside its historical correlation with the concept of tradition. 3. There is a need for a definition of plagiarism to take account of the need to clearly indicate the proportion of innovation and transmission. 4. We can cultivate a demarcation ethics of originality and we can only dismiss the abuses against it with a well-developed culture of valorising tradition.
