Abstract
Subjecting to analysis the public and cultural life of the time, Philippide identifies at every turn traces of Romanian specialism. Determined to dismantle the imposture and superficiality of the people of culture, Philippide found it appropriate to fight against them through a scientific polemic. This article follows the animosity created between the professor from Iași and the linguist from Cluj Sextil Pușcariu, animosity which gave rise to a very stylistically delightful polemical dialogue.
