Abstract
Benefiting from the consequences of cultural and scientific development which kicked off in the 19th century, the Romanian space also felt the lags up till then. The development and organisation deficit of science and culture, the poor quality of their relationships with the social complex, were augmented frequently not necessarily by the poor quality of the Romanian scholars, but by a certain superficiality of theirs in the approach and presentation of the treated matters. Trying to confer reliability, accuracy and transparency to the scientific construction in which he took part, A. Philippide often felt in a negative manner some of the scientific behaviours and results presented by his generation colleagues. In this context, beyond the high quality of his results and his highly responsible attitude, the way in which the scholar from Iași tried to improve the process was the scientific polemic.
Highlights
Trying to confer reliability, accuracy and transparency to the scientific construction in which he took part, A
Philippide conceives and conducts his activity from a rigorously scientific perspective, refusing to issue value judgments starting from suppositions or intuitions—unlike Hasdeu, for example, and building his discourse based on a read and appropriated bibliography, considering that any affirmation must be supported by scientific evidence
The study Un specialist român la Lipsca presents a critical discourse which abounds in elements of expressivity, characteristic for the text originated in the moods of the speaking subject
Summary
The period between the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century represented, at European level, a period of great development, almost explosive at a scientific, mentality and cultural level. The discoveries in various domains of natural sciences, the occurrence of new scientific theories, of new research methods and, especially, the capacity of scholars to see the entire effort as collaborative and relatively unitary—. Brought important and radical changes in science as well as at the level of culture and mentality. Researchers and thinkers of value got involved in the cultural-scientific transformations within the Romanian space, different factors prevented the moment to be used for the creation of a solid framework, favourable to the thorough reception of ideas and, eventually, to serve as basis for development, including at the level of the mass mentality.
