У раду се на основу доступних историјских извора и релевантне историографске литературе врши свеобухватна анализа животног пута и научног дела академика Милорада Екмечића. Реч је о једном од најистакнутијих, најплоднијих и најутицајнијих српских интелектуалаца друге половине 20. и почетка 21. века. Иза себе је оставио преко 300 библиографских јединица, међу којима се налазе антологијска дела непролазне вредности. Она су писана углавном на бази необјављене грађе из домаћих и иностраних архива, уз консултовање веродостојних трагова прошлости у облику путописа, сведочанстава савременика, старих рукописа, црквених књига, манастирских хроника и проверених резултата критичке историографије. Своја истраживања није ограничавао тесним хронолошким оквирима и уским географским међама. Није се либио отворено говорити и о ширим друштвеним, државним, националним и геополитичким проблемима. Посматран као научник, истраживач, наставник, педагог и јавни делатник, Екмечић представља личност готово ренесансних карактеристика. Изванредно образован, огромног знања и крајње широког интересовања, успевао се огледати у разним историографским и публицистичким изразима. Стога смо његов разуђени животни и научни опус покушали обрадити кроз десет посебних тематских целина, поштујући строге узусе историјске методологије. Најширу библиографску основу нашег рукописа чине сами Екмечићеви текстови. Поред њих, ту је необјављена грађа из Архива САНУ и Архива Филозофског факултета Универзитета у Београду, као и огроман број валидних наслова из периодике, штампе и мемоарске литературе. Приликом нашег истраживачког рада користили смо класичан историјски метод, уз консултовање метода других сродних друштвенохуманистичких наука

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the life and scientific work of academician Milorad Ekmečić based on available historical sources and relevant historiographical literature. He is one of the most prominent, most prolific and most influential Serbian intellectuals of the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century. He is survived by over 300 bibliographic items, among which are anthological works of timeless value. They were written mainly on the basis of unpublished material from domestic and foreign archives, with the consultation with credible traces of the past in the form of travelogues, testimonies of contemporaries, old manuscripts, church books, monastery chronicles and verified results of critical historiography. He did not limit his research to tight chronological frameworks and narrow geographical boundaries, nor did he hesitate to speak openly about wider social, state, national and geopolitical problems. Observed as a scientist, researcher, teacher, pedagogue and public figure, Ekmečić is a person of almost renaissance characteristics. Extraordinarily educated, with great knowledge and extremely wide interest, he managed to reflect himself in various historiographical and journalistic expressions. Therefore, we have tried to process his diverse life and scientific opus through ten separate thematic units, respecting the strict usage of historical methodology. The broadest bibliographic basis of our manuscript consists of Ekmečić's texts themselves. In addition to them, there are unpublished materials from the Archives of SANU and the Archives of the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade, as well as a huge number of valid titles from periodicals, press and memoirs. During our research work, we used the classical historical method, in consultation with the methods of other related social sciences and humanities.
