Abstract

Holder of two degrees – one in religious studies (1930) and the other in philosophy (1947), both obtained from the University of Bucharest –, as well as au­thor of significant works covering the two aforementioned fields, Constantin C. Pavel, professor and theologian, imposed himself as a remarkable personality in Romanian re­ligious and philosophical culture. He is well-known for his moral philosophy, referenc­ing human nature and condition, and expertly expressing his opinion on the disastrous impact that modern culture and its civilizational components have on human beings. The current study brings to attention the aspects raised by this approach, specifically the human–culture–religion triad, from the positions of the Orthodox Christian doctrine embraced by Constantin C. Pavel in "Tragedia omului în cultura modernă" [The tragedy of man in modern culture].
