Summary/Abstract: In this paper I intend to create a proper and contextualized framework for the analysis of Constantin Noica’s doctoral studies. Noica was one of the major Romanian thinkers of the 20th century. His work influences not only the Romanian cultural and intellectual thinking, but the European milieu, as well. In this context I present not only Noica’s personality or activity as a student, moreover, I provide a proper contextualization of these events and actions. The article uses archive sources in order to display the relationship between Constantin Noica and the University of Bucharest, with particular emphasis on his PhD defence presentation. As part of an innovative attempt, in the annexes to the paper, I reproduce several documents from the folders of Noica’s doctoral thesis defense and some other archives documents related to his academic life.
