 Economic Beliefs in the Works of Simion MehedinţiSorinel Cosma ()
Ovidius University Annals, Economic Sciences Series, 2022, vol. XXII, issue 1, 203-209 Abstract: Simion Mehedinţi (1869-1962) is considered to be the founder of the Romanian modern geography, but he had remarkable contributions in other fields of activity as well: ethnography, history, science philosophy, pedagogy, and literature. The economic meanings of his thinking, though not explicit, are quite deep. The purpose of this paper is to analyze certain concepts that Mehedinți used from an economic perspective. He studied the biunique interaction between human and environment and granted man (population) a first rate role within geography. In a narrow sense, civilization means not only what and how much is produced, but also how it is produced. Culture, as the sum of all spiritual accomplishments, is the specific view of a people on the moral universe and it emerges as the result of the same cause: labor, the decisive element that sets man and animal apart.
