DE L’ÂME DU PROFESSEUR DR. NICOLAE C. PAULESCU

Summary/Abstract: N. C. Paulescu was a brilliant researcher in physiology, a mediocre thinker in sociology and a cruel preacher in politics. “The soul” is the key-concept of Paulescu’s “tractatus theologico-physiologicus” – and the anti-Semitism is a natural consequence of his inappropriate understanding of society. Unbinding the structure of his political, theological, scientific and common sense arguments, the present article tries to reveal the limits of this approach. In despite of the polemical tone, we are not arguing with Paulescu, but with the use and the abuse of Paulescu’s writings. This article is not a pleading against the interdisciplinary approaches, but a pleading for a clear delimitation between the domains of competence of each methodology.
