Summary/Abstract: The Romanian philosopher Ion Petrovici deals in his last study sent for pub­lication during his life with the comparative analysis of “the philosophical spir­it”, “the scientific spirit”, and “the theological spirit”. Censorship removed considera­tions on “the theo­log­ical spirit”. Petrovici characterizes “the philosophical spirit” by the overall perspective it seeks and by its role in relation to scientific research. It also dis­tinguishes between “philosophical spirit” and philosophical doctrine. Finally, the simi­larities and differences between “the scientific spirit” and “the philosophical spirit” are analysed.
