Summary/Abstract: Thestudy’s author supports the idea – also promoted by Mircea Vulcănescu – that almostall the philosophy professors of Sf. Sava, who created the starting nucleus for educationand philosophy in the Romanian language (the founder, Gheorghe Lazăr, and hisfollowers, Eufrosin Poteca, August Treboniu Laurian, Ion Zalomit) manifested interestand admiration for Kant’s practical philosophy – mainly for ethics, as they found in itmany useful theses for achieving the political, national, cultural and social emancipationideals. Most of them joined these Kantian ethics, because apparently they disliked thespeculative side of the criticist philosophy, as it was very much commented upon,though contested, while they preferred its moral side for the certainty offered, thusconsidered more appropriate in view of educating the studious youth in the Principalities.
