The Christian family, blessed by God through the Sacrament of Marriage, represents an environment of man's moral discipline and fulfilment of his spiritual and religious vocation. The orderly and honest life and the ideal Christian conduct are cultivated in the house, in the family. The family is the foundation and root of the Christian moral life, because in the family environment man acquires the first skills, shapes his character and strives to practice the virtues. Therefore, the family is considered the basic cell of Christian society and a means of strengthening and developing the religious life lived in communion. Within the family, the two rhythms of life, the biological rhythm and the Christian spiritual rhythm, are fulfilled in a harmonious way, in order to cultivate and ennoble both the body and the soul.

The geographical discoveries and the new dimension of the spiritual and scientific knowledge led the 15th and 17th centuries to prefigure the huge historical jump taken by man and mankind. Human reason ever more unfettered from the chains of dogmas paved the way for creation founded on man's new relations with nature, with himself, his fellow creatures, and with God. It was believed, at one time, that liberated from dogmas, human reason would drive man to ruin. Goethe offers release from such anxiety, in the light of a German type of enlightenment, by placing man in the centre of the world, holding him responsible for the meaning granted to life. Free to distinguish between good and evil in the power of his own free will, Faustus touches the haven of joy and of hapiness revaluating the superior abilities of human being on his relation with life environment, in liberty, in join harmony with his creative capacity and with divinity as well. Leading, by his own effort and thinking, to the victory of light over darkness, „Faustus” sends a message to mankind the actuality of which fully relates to the realities of our times.

The first authentic Romanian Symbolist writer (G. Călinescu) - poet, novelist, playwright, sociologist, Ștefan Petică is a poet of reverie and musicality. The suggestion of impenetrable emotions, the cultivation of the harmony of vision and rhythm, all these are complemented by the echoes and the representations that stem from the sensational and musical sensitivity of Ştefan Petică, where the sounds reconstruct, as in the poems in prose, fragments of the past, say a “story”, reconstituting suggestively an atmosphere of mystery and voluptuousness. In Ștefan Petică‟s poems a musicality of sensations is made by the conversion of affective states into poetic figures of remarkable coherence. The erotic feeling is a sum of the same harmonious reveries, observing the symmetry of the senses, the pictures of femininity being rewritten in a delicate, fragile style, in musical verses that seem evanescent.

The presentation and representation of the nude human body was one of the central interests in the culture of ancient Greece. The whole miracle of the ancient Greek revolves around the hero or the athlete, with insistence on the physical representation of his body, stripped of all its clothes and preconceptions. In gymnasiums, as well as in the myths of Olympus, the nude was held as a supreme ethical and aesthetical criterion. This gymnosophic way of life redefined normality in the ancient Greek society and was the basis of an important manner of understanding identity as one deriving from corporeality.
