GEORGE COSBUC AND THE LATE ILLUMINISM

Summary/Abstract: Once arrived to Bucharest, George Cosbuc had noticed that some negative life traits of villagers (magical practice, empirical medicine, ignorance for science) had been the same ones as the ones mentioned in the Enlightenment a century ago. He was involved in dismissing them on three planes: by converting some folkloric stories, by consolidating the school through articles and conferences to show badly practices or making public the scientific discoveries and work techniques. In these paper his contributions are analyzed, those that made him one of the most important personalities who thought towards that direction.
