DIMITRIE ONCIUL ȘI ȘCOALA CRITICĂ DE ISTORIE
Dimitrie Onciul and the Critical School of History

Summary/Abstract: The shift from a romantic to a positivist view of the past gave rise to a new generation of researchers determined to make history writing scientific. Dimitrie Onciul, a university professor in Bucharest who studied at the Austro-German universities of Chernivtsi, Vienna, and Berlin, was a prominent Romanian positivist. Dimitrie Onciul established a new paradigm of historical investigation in Romanian historiography by integrating approaches and methodologies learned from his professors. The critical school of history, co-founded by Dimitrie Onciul and medievalist Ioan Bogdan, produced notable historians such as Vasile Pârvan, Al. Lapedatu, C. Giurescu, Ion Ursu, Iulian Marinescu, Ilie Minea, Al. Al. Vasilescu and others.
