Narrative drawing: The spirit of the landscape. Location: Široka rijeka (Figure 4) Orthophoto montage: Intro-landscape. Location: Široka rijeka (Figure 6)
This research investigates the condition of unbuilt spaces in urban areas that reside in the interim between previous use and not-yet-decided new development. These unbuilt spaces are considered as valuable in the context of urban landscape. In order to acknowledge the character and quality of unbuilt spaces, design and planning procedures need to incorporate new interpretative techniques. The proposed NSA method integrates three research-by-design techniques that enable landscape researchers/designers to broaden the scope of disciplinary research practice. The conducted research is interdisciplinary and stands in the intersection of two research fields in the context of scale—urban planning and architectural design. The aim of this research is to propose the new methodological apparatus, which offers a holistic view on the notion of territory in regard to the notion of scale. The analysis takes the position that small-scale architectural design procedures and methods also apply to the scale of the landscape—territory. The proposed method—Narrative Spatial Analytics (NSA)—is based on simultaneous design procedures in opposing scales, assuming the overall significance of simultaneous understanding of the territory and the site
Deliberativni konstitucionalizam
U ovom radu ću ispitati da li je deliberativni proces građana upotrebljiv i opravdan kao inovativan proces donošenja novog ustava, koji predstavlja izazov tradicionalnim načinima donošenja najvažnijih odluka. Pokazaću koje su mane i prednosti pomenutog procesa za one zajednice koje žele da stvore autentičan ustav koji će reflektovati potrebe građana i kulturno-istorijske specifičnosti, pritom legitimizirajući svoje institucije i poredak.In this paper I will try to examine if deliberative process of citizens is
applicable and justified as innovative constitutional-making process, which represents
a challenge to the traditional decision-making processes regarding the most important
issues. I will try to highlight all the bad-sides and good-sides of the mentioned process
for those political communities that strive to create an authentic constitution, which will
reflect citizens’ needs and cultural-historic specifics, while at the same time legitimizing
their institutions and system
Epistemološke pozicije svesti u problemu odnosa duha i tela
Tema rada jeste razmatranje pitanja svesti u problemu odnosa duha i
tela. Navode se Dekartovi argumenti za dualizam duha i tela a zatim nastavlja sa
razmatranjem problema mentalno-fizičko kroz prikaz relevantnih pozicija u savremenoj
filozofiji duha. Razmatra se bihejviorizam, teorija psihofizičkog identiteta kao naučni
pristup ovom problemu, zatim funkcionalističko objašnjenje prirode mentalnog i Kripkeova
kritika ovog stanovišta, i konačno prikaz Čalmersovog “teškog problema svesti” i
Nejgelovog “kako izgleda biti” argumenta. Pruža se kritika Nejgelovog argumenta
pozivanjem na Plejsovu “fenomenalističku grešku” i zaključuje da “problem subjektivnog
karaktera fenomenalnog svesnog iskustva” nije pravi problem budući da je svest entitet
kome se ne mogu pripisati fenomenalna svojstva.UDK 165 159.922 130.32 572.5
Acting Compassionately. Engagement and Compassion as the Key Elements of Group Constitution
Naš je glavni cilj opisati strukturu angažiranih akata i suosjećanja i njihovu konstitutivnu povezanost da bismo objasnili ključnu ulogu angažiranih i suosjećajnih akata za konstituiranje grupe. U prvom dijelu teksta, formuliramo ideju-vodilju: ključ za razumijevanje suosjećanja leži u razumijevanju angažmana i obratno. Zatim, okrećemo se razmatranju problematičnoga karaktera angažiranih akata: oni, s jedne strane, ne ispunjavaju uvjete pripisivosti pluralnom subjektu, dok se, s druge strane, ne mogu objasniti bez pretpostavke pluralnoga subjekta. Da bismo to razumjeli, oslanjamo se, prije svega, na Helmovu teoriju emocija i klasične fenomenološke analize konstituiranja pluralnoga subjekta, ali i ukazujemo na njihova ograničenja. U posljednjim dvama odjeljcima ćemo, nadovezujući se na Nussbauminu teoriju suosjećanja, opisati paralelizam i konstitutivnu povezanost u strukturi suosjećanja i angažmana. Na kraju, ispitat ćemo specifičan način na koji (suosjećajni) angažirani akti »stavljaju teret« i transformiraju grupu u instituciju.Our main goal is to describe the structure of engaged acts and compassion and their constitutive
interrelation to explicate the key role of engaged and compassionate acts for group constitution.
In the first part of the paper, we formulate our guiding idea: the key to understanding compassion lies in understanding engagement and vice versa. We then consider the problematic nature
of engaged acts: On the one hand, they do not meet the conditions to be attributed to the plural
subject; on the other hand, they cannot be understood without presupposing the plural subject.
To understand this, we rely primarily on Helm’s theory of emotions and the classical phenomenological analyses of the constitution of the plural subject, but we also point out the limitations
of the latter. In the last two sections, we build on Nussbaum’s theory of compassion to describe
the parallelism in the structure of compassion and engagement and to show their constitutive
connection. Finally, we examine the specific way in which (compassionate) engaged acts “place
burden” and transform a group into an institutio
Kant o pravednom ratu i međunarodnom poretku
Kant’s legal and political philosophy is essential for understanding and advancing international order. The article aims to posit arguments that confront the claims that Kant was just war theorist. Since that is the most opposed part of Kant’s political philosophy, mostly due to the misleading interpretation of his argumentation, the author presents Kant’s standpoint on the matters of just war and international order and discusses potential ambiguities between Kant’s and his critics’ theories. Furthermore, the consequences of opponents’ arguments considering states of states, world republic and cosmopolitan democracy in contemporary political philosophy are debated. Finally, the possibility of consent between the three model solutions which are arising from the contemporary international order theory and Kant’s position are compared and analysed.Kantova politička filozofija i filozofija prava od suštinskog su značaja za razumevanje i una pređenje međunarodnog poretka. Rad ima za cilj da izloži argumente koji se suprotstavljaju
tvrdnjama da je Kant bio samo teoretičara rata. Budući da je to najkontroverzniji deo njego ve političe filozofije, uglavnom zbog krivog tumačenja njegove argumentacije, autor iznosi
Kantovo stanovište o pitanjima pravednog rada i međunarodnog poretka i razmatra poten cijalna razilaženje između Kanta i teorija koje zastupaju njegovi kritičari. Nadalje, biće disku tovane posledice kontra argumenata vezanih za državu država, svetsku republiku i kosmo politsku demokratiju unutar savremene političke filozofije. Na kraju, upoređuju se i analiziraju
mogućnosti saglasnosti između tri modela rešenja koja proističu iz savremene teorije među narodnog porekta
'…ein Denkmal des neuen Deutschlands.' Der frühe Gehlen über Staat und Philosophie
Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Arnold Gehlens philosophischer Entwicklung und seinem intellektuellen Engagement bis 1940. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf dem Nachweis der Politisierung seiner Philosophie unter dem Einfluss von Carl Schmitt und Karl Larenz. Aufgrund einer eingehenden Lektüre seines Werks "Der Mensch" wird auch Gehlens Anpassung seiner philosophischen Anthropologie an die nationalsozialistische Lehre erläutert
Mišljenje građana o korupciji 2021. godine
Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrđivanje mišljenja građana i građanki Srbije u vezi sa korupcijom, kao i njihovih stavova o drugim političkim pitanjima. U ovom istraživanju građani su procenjivali koliko često se dešavaju različite koruptivne aktivnosti u društvu generalno i koliko često se u njih upuštaju zaposleni u javnom sektoru. Građani su takođe ocenjivali zastupljenost korupcije u Srbiji, kao i borbu protiv korupcije

Republicanism and Domination by Capital
This article is a review of the contemporary ‘leftist’ republican project. The
project stands on two legs, and we examine them both in turn. The first leg is a
novel reading of history. This reading suggests, on the one hand that, contrary
to some popular assumptions, republicanism does have a leftist, even a radical
stream. But on the other hand, it also suggests that several authors and movements that did not self-identify as republicans actually did, in fact, employ a
characteristically republican thinking. The second leg of the project is a normative one. It is essentially an attempt by political philosophers to demonstrate
that there is something in republican theory from which all these leftist, even
radical streams spring forth. Primarily, it is suggested that it is republicanism’s
sensitivity to the freedom-restricting role of great inequalities of power that
provides the normative resource for the development of a characteristically
republican critique of capital and capitalism. We briefly review the main arguments in favor of these claims, and also, as a conclusion, raise a few challenges
that the ‘leftist’ republican project potentially faces
Worrying Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Through the Prism of Recommender Systems
Transfer from social to semantic web brought us to an era of algorithmic
society, placing issues such as privacy, big data and AI in the spotlight. although neutral
by their nature, the power of big data algorithms to impact societies became major
concern outcoming with fines issued to Facebook in the US. These events were initiated
by alleged breaches of data privacy connected to recommender system technology,
which can provide individualized content to internet users. This paper seeks to explain
recommender systems, while elaborating on their social effects, to conclude that their
overall impacts might be increase in retail sales, democratization of advertising, increase
in internet addictions, social polarization (echo chamber issue), and improvement
of political communication. Also, more research should be deployed into low intensity
addictions, as potential outcome of recommender systems, and it should be explored
how they affect political participation and democracy
