Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the idea of social humanism by Tadeusz Zieliński, an outstanding classical philologist, thinker, creator of the phenomenon called Slavic Renaissance, being a professor at St. Petersburg University (until 1920) and Warsaw University, a doctor h. c. at many high schools in the country as well as abroad. He treated his humanism in different aspects, not just as a category strictly referring to the epoch of Renaissance, but also having alternated through history, in order to search a harmony between the one human being and the society. The proposals and projects that he declared within this context, placed him around the great defenders of the republican anthropocentrism which opposed the doctrinal liberalism.
