The Professor George Em. Marica about the Activity of Simion Barnutiu as a Publisher

Summary/Abstract: The Professor George Em. Marica about the Activity of Simion Barnutiu as a Publisher. The very rich activity of Simion Barnutiu as a journalist makes the subject-matter of the research done by the well-known Professor George Emilian Marica in his outstanding work Studies on history and sociology of the Romanian Transylvanian culture of the XIXth century. Despite of what is commonly considered, Barnutiu’s “short writings” – i.e. his articles approaching a great amount of subjects, from agriculture to scientific congresses, usually not developing them but explaining them to a large audience – are sometimes even richer and closer to completion than his “extended” works. At any rate, one cannot avoid to account for these “short writings”, in order to get the “whole picture” of Barnutiu’s intellectual outcome. Most part of these articles has been drawn up between the years when Barnutiu taught philosophy, law and pedagogy in Blaj (1839-1845) and in Iaşi (1855-1864). Then, he focused his lectures on the ontology (metaphysics), logic, theory of knowledge and law science. All of these courses bear the obvious influence of I. Kant’s (1724-1804) and W.T. Krug’s (1770-1842) rationalism. According to the opinion of Professor Marica, all of these “short writings” spread the scent of a symbiotic blend of enlightenment and romanticism, very specific to Barnutiu’s Transylvanian époque.
