Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses Sándor Domanovszky’s historical and historical political views. After briefly summarizing the literature on Domanovszky, the author focuses on two main problems in his treatment of the subject: on the one hand, Domanovszky’s debate with Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga, and his clearance procedure in 1945, in which the so called Tibor Baráth case and the involvement related to the grand prize awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to Gyula Szekfű in 1943 played a decisive part. According to the author’s conclusion, contrary to previous views, it was not positivism but rather a historicism centering on the national problematics as well as intellectual history that primarily influenced Domanovszky’s work in the last period of his life.
