Sociologia monografică a lui D. Gusti: legitimitatea unei sinteze
D. Gusti's monographic sociology: The legitimacy of a synthesis
Maria Larionescu
Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The article focuses on D. Gustis personality and activity of creating the system of the sociological monography, further used as an analytical basis for the direct field research in the villages. The study points to the fact that the Gustian sociological system is an original, creative synthesis of some of the most important European scientific contributions, especially German, French and Romanian. A more comprehensive image of the Gustis performance has been structured into two directions: sociological causality, especially the low of sociological parallelism, and the interdisciplinary principle.
