Summary/Abstract: Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889) belongs to the category of living writers. A versatile spirit - poet, journalist, prose writer, philosopher, playwright, translator - considered by Noica as "the complete man of the Romanian culture", through his writings he is an author who continues to inspire scholars and the public (readers). For more than a century, his work still has a germinating energy, contributing, on the one hand, to the production of new research on it and, on the other hand, leading exegetes to constantly and deeply investigate, aiming, as the critic Ion Dur rightfully remarked, to reach to "another Eminescu", the one "who has not been discovered yet and, therefore, is not accepted by those who constantly ask us if we have still remained to the author of Luceafărul". In the case of the present research, which builds on the foundation of an essay that I published in 2009, I try, as far as possible, to highlight and analyse some aspects which reveal the moral traits of the publicist, his judgments on the press of his time and the reception he enjoyed. My intention does not aim at an exhaustive approach but aims at developing as clearly as possible what I propose.
