B.P. Hasdeu – hypostasis of the “Romanian specialist”

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of any specialist, regardless of the sphere approached, is to serve the aspirations of scientific and cultural development of his people. However, in the broad process of searching for scientific truth, the possibility seen by some scientists to achieve this goal is scientific controversy, often manifested in a harsh duel of words. This article aims at confronting some of the most representative figures of Romanian linguistics, a confrontation developed in the realm of ideas. Using weapons such as stinging irony, humor and sarcasm, Alexandru Philippide outlines a new hypostasis of the “Romanian specialist”, this time materialized in the person of Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu.
