He also insisted and put a stress on the similarity, if not the identity of developement of this Romanian area with those from the South and the East of the Carpathians. Folowing the modern spirit of positivism, loan Lupas aimed at accuracy and rigour and he intended to spotlight objectively the decisive elements of the historical, economic, social, ethnic,cultural, moral and religious development and the national consciousness. He had both methodological concerns in historical research and teaching methodology and he encreases upon instructive aspects in historical awareness. The objective and pragmatic analysis is completed by the implementation of civic attitudes and convictions. Education is partly supported by the knowledge of historical evolution beginning with the birth of the Romanian people and the process of Christianity, continuing with their development of various levels, the Great Unification in 1918 and the historical process of natural formation of the environment for integral development of the Romanian nation.
