Epistolary fragmentarium: Ion Conea – David Prodan. A geopolitician’s dialogue with a historian

The present study aims to emphasize a thinker considered as one of the fathers of Romanian geopolitics, a cultural profile with a special destiny, still little known to the general public, Ion Conea. Recovering the universe of thought of this intellectual, unjustly forgotten, is a plea for research into his ideational legacy and the way in which the conclusions of his researches are still relevant today. In this sense, the letters sent by Ion Conea to the historian David Prodan are a starting point for a broader investigation of how the science of geopolitics was ordered in Romania in dialogue with history.
