Summary/Abstract: Although Eminescu has not developed a philosophical system of his own as Lucian Blaga did, we assume that his philosophical vision has left its mark on all his poetry. If his creation means love and love is metamorphosed through creation, then the philosophy of love with Eminescu concerns the sense of existence, love being the highest form of human existence and a sine qua non condition of happiness. Not only does love have metaphysical connotations as a principle of existence and life, but it also acquires a profound moral sense, as a salvation solution in front of life suffering, in other words as a universal solution meant to give an answer to the great philosophical, existential, social, economic questions and themes of the epoch.
