În căutarea unui marcator identitar la Dunărea de Jos - de la contribuţia în sociologia românească a lui Virgil T. N. Madgearu până la activitatea sociologică de la universitatea gălăţeană

The Romanian area of the Lower Danube has offered numerous research topics on history, literature, culture, geopolitics, economics and social life, etc. Specialists in various fields have established themselves, among them Virgil T. N. Madgearu (1887-1940) whose contribution was in the fields of economics, sociology and social policies, complementary to his political activity. Through this study I will explore the historical conditions in which Virgil T. N. Madgearu, with a focus on social issues, how the sociologist related to them and his perspective on the response to the issues of the time. At the same time, we will highlight Madgearu's contribution to the construction of sociology as a science, following concepts and theories he expounded. This approach allows us to highlight some aspects of the stages of Romanian sociology in the Lower Danube area. Another concern is to show the need to outline the steps to build a set of contributions of scientists, especially in the field of sociology, leading to elements of sociological identity in the Lower Danube.
