H. Stahl's Scientific Contribution to the Development of Romanian Sociology

Summary/Abstract: The first part the paper, wherein we offer a general perspective on the history of Romanian sociology, analysing the inter-war Romanian sociologic school, precisely the monographic research based on the `methodological experience` of the monographic school founded by the Romanian sociologist Dimitrie Gusti, is dedicated to the Romanian sociologist Henri H. Stahl. Along these lines, we configure the social-economical and the political contexts where `the historical sociology` and `the monographic sociology` generally appear and develop and, more specifically, the `Romanian social history` advanced by Henri H. Stahl, as `a sociologist with studies in History`. The second part of the paper, starting with the `administrative data` of The Sociological School in Bucharest, which appeared in the inter-war period, we synthetically presented the main movements in the sociological thinking that were developed later by the sociologist and methodologist Henri H. Stahl within the historical background of the Socialist movement of those times – the rural sociology (`the sociology of the dependent organization`) and the zonal development – both being methodologically based on `the monographic movement`. The conclusions of the present study lead to emphasizing the importance as well as the influences that Henri H. Stahl`s theoretical and methodological approaches had in the development of Sociology as a science in Romania, taking into consideration both the `cogitans` and the `militans` sociological perspectives.
