Summary/Abstract: The paper briefly presents the important stages of Greek thinking and of the Aristotelian one within the area of Eastern Europe, starting with the Greek antiquity until the 17th century A. D., when we witness a renaissance of the philosophical teaching under Theophilus Corydaleus as Rector of the Patriarchal Academy of Constantinople – all along the Balkan and Eastern regions that were under the Ottoman rule or influence. Inspired by this renaissance, in Bucharest and Jassy at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, one founds the two Princely Academies with a syllabus inspired by the Corydaleus’ neo-Aristotelian perspective.
