Summary/Abstract: In the first part of this article I took a look at some socio-human writings with great impact in Europe of the nineteenth century, towards Romanian scholars with their specificity, paradoxes and challenges, in order to frame Constantin Leonardescu within a context, whore present, in many ways, a pioneer of our sociology. Most of the article is devoted to his ideas that animated the sociological concerns towards the late nineteenth century, when new institutions and knowledge that represent the origin of “socio-human science “ today were also implemented in Romania.
