Summary/Abstract: The myth and edenic topos in Mihai Eminescu's poetry become a transfictionalized/transdictionallized utopia. In this metautopia, the human condition wears a transhumanistic aspect. The essence of the truth consists of this context, in the rediscovery of the authentic self, the one which is one with nature but also with Trans-nature which ensures the ontological profane its transcommunication with the Sacred. But Mihai Eminescu binds the wonders of the nature with the wonders of mathematics and the poetic language with the presence of the Divine in the fundaments. The edenic vision in Mihai Eminescu’s works is built on the triad experience, analysis and comparison, according to which human nature must become through learning, a second nature. Moral harmony, the soul, beautiful and rhythmic and the psychological state become three (the cross of trans) important elements of art in the pedagogy of Mihai Eminescu.
