ROMANIAN CIVILIZATION IN THE PHANARIOTIC ERA
ROMANIAN CIVILIZATION IN THE PHANARIOTIC ERA

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the elements of civilization manifested in the Romanian Principalities during the Phanariot regime. The most visible aspects, such as the clothing, the arrangement of the living space, the gastronomy, the leisure forms, but also the least obvious ones, and by these we mean the mental reflexes, circumscribe the Oriental model. The Eastern origin values that govern the existence of the native nobility lead to an authentic lifestyle that we can define by a tendency towards excess, delight, sensuality, materialism, vanity, relaxation of morals. Each of the aforementioned features derives as a natural conclusion from the analysis performed.
