Summary/Abstract: The considerations concern the French view of the morality of recognized peoples for uncivilized - South Slavs living in the area of ​​today Croatia and Montenegro. The problem of morality is analyzed primarily all in the context of the natural honesty attributed to peoples considered uncivilized. The analysis uses more than just testimonials French authors, but also French-language descriptions, popular in France days of enlightenment. This is especially true of the relationship between Alberto Fortis and Stefan Zanovic. These sources (shaping the images of Morlaks - Slavic shepherds living in the Dalmatian province - or Montenegrins) that were popular in the second half of the 18th century, they were combined with documents related to the French rule in Dalmatia (1806–1813). The analysis made it possible indicate what place in the Enlightenment discussion of morality civilized and savage peoples occupied communities Slavic families living on the outskirts of Europe at that time.
