Abstract

I have asked myself many times, next to other colleague professors from the law or administrative sciences faculties if it is sufficient for students, in the profession they have chosen, to know only the matters of practical immediate use as some officials vested with the destiny of the high education allege. The answer I am trying to argue in this intervention is NO. It is not enough. For example the legal bone structure of the conception regarding the modern democracy finds its fundament in the social contract which is the meta-juridical principle. So to speak, philosophical. Apart from this permanent appeal to philosophy in general, I personally had a permanent concern studying the administrative phenomenon to underline the intrinsic link between juridical and political. I am trying also through this summary intervention to provoke the preferment of a critical spirit, much absent from our academic environment, which could question the too neat roads of the science of the current law and the creation of an intellectual emulation so necessary for the ones who research the legal phenomenon as well as the administrative one. Without philosophy, any research of law or of the administrative phenomenon is lacked of grounds. Or, without fundaments any intellectual attempt is destined to superficiality and, finally, to failure.
