Summary/Abstract: Teodor Lateș was a member of the school of Simeon Bărnuț, a prom­i­nent Transylvanian revolutionist, later an influential professor of philosophy and law at the uni­versity of Jassy and the main ideological inspirer of the political party The Free and Inde­pendent Fraction. He was himself a teacher of philosophy and a deputy in the United Princi­palities’ parliament representing The Free and Independent Fraction. In this paper we dispel some confusions concerning his identity and writings, we restore the main coordinates of his life and thought, and we assess his importance for the intellectual history of Romania.
