MARIN PREDA: ”THE EARTH'S MOST BELOVED SON” OR THE TOTAL OVERTHROW OF INTELLECTUAL VALUES THROUGH IDEOLOGIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The Earth's Most Beloved Son is an exemplary novel, an incontestable benchmark of the philosophical depth of which the current political novel has shown itself capable. It is not the professional condition of the main hero that gives the novel this philosophical nature, but the respective qualities that life awakens in the presence of Victor Petrini. It is unacceptable to separate the philosopher Petrini from his predecessors, no less philosophers, Ilie and Niculae Moromete, Călin Surupăceanu from the “Prodigals”. What unites them all in an unmistakable spiritual family is the radicalism of these intellectual natures: in politics, in love, in morality, especially in morality. Nicolae Moromete dreamed of founding a new ethical religion, Victor Petrini wrote “a new gnosis”, both spiritually equivalent to a radical questioning of the values of old systems.
