Keywords: moral man; cultural model; knowledge; truth; European humanism;
Summary/Abstract: What we intend to illustrate is what kind of human prototype Dimitrie Cantemir built in his work, taking Plato1, the Greek philosopher, as his cultural model. From this perspective, a consistent advocacy for knowledge and truth is the foundation of the whole “moral edifice” especially dedicated by Cantemir in the Sentences (Sententii). Cantemir’s work is an invitation to self-knowledge, thereby contributing to the education of the Romanian human nature.
