Dvostruki karakter stvorenog bića kod T. Akvinskog
No full textU danas već klasičnom tekstu iz 1958. godine posvećenom dvostrukom karakteru Tominog koncepta bivstvovanja, Džozef Ovens jasno formuliše dve sapripadne osobine bivstvovanja (esse) koje su delatne u Akvinčevoj metafizici, naime 1) bivstvovanje razumevano u terminima suštine, forme ili prirode, kao esencijalno, i 2) bivstvovanje razumevano kao akcidentalno, ne u kategorijalnom smislu, već u smislu da se nalazi izvan suštine stvari. Čvrsto se oslanjajući na celokupan Ovensov rad pokušaću da skiciram načine razumevanja značenja bivstvovanja za Tomu Akvinskog, jer a) akcidentalni i esencijalni karakter bivstvovanja predstavljaju dva aspekta stvorenog bivstvovanja, b) koje je realno različito od suštine.In now classical article from 1958 dedicated to twofold character of Aquinas’s concept of being Joseph Owens clearly formulates the two complementary features of esse that function in Aquinas’s metaphysics, namely 1) being understood in the terms of essence, form or nature, as essential and 2) being understood as accidental, not in predicamental meaning but as something above and beyond the essence of the thing. Firmly relying on whole Owens’s work, I will try to outline the ways of understanding the meanings of esse in Aquinas, because a) two character of being are two complementary and integral components of created being, b) which are really different

Лесковачка архитектура Василија Михајловича Андросова у светлу историографије и архивске грађе
No full textVasilije Mihailovič Androsov stood out among the Russian architect - immigrants who influenced the architectural and religious practices of our area. Designing, primarily, churches and religious buildings, Androsov affected the formation of numerous rural and urban areas, marking the overall construction of interwar sacred architecture in Kingdom of SHS / Yugoslavia. Perceived as a representative sample of Androsov's religious architecture, the Leskovac opus makes for an interesting research focus. It illustrates a borad range of his work: from buildings considered the most successful examples of the inter-war ecclesiastical architecture in Leskovac area such as monumental Cathedral of St. Trinity Church in Leskovac, to more intimate places of worship, such as the picturesque church in Kumarevo; from unrealized projects (in Sijarinska Banja), and churches designed in jointly with other important period architects such as the one in Donja Lakošnica, to less ambitious, typical solutions like the small church in Bukova Glava. Museums, archives, cadastral departments, institutes for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, newspaper libraries, photo libraries, including private collections and architects' legacy are important basis for scholarly research. This paper extensively explores the materials about Androsov's Leskovac work kept in the Archives of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, aiming to help further research of his architecture
The Truth of a Child: Romantic Critique of the Enlightenment Vision of Growing Up
No full textРад настоји да искуша једну интуитивно саморазумљиво али
непропитану и недокументовану хипотезу. Она гласи да још с краја осамнаестог
и почетка деветнаестог века разумевању одрастања на начин рационалистичке
традиције просветитељства, која се чини да доминира, равноправно конкурише једна непрекидно жива религијска и једна романтичка визија која, преломљено обнављајући прву, слици пожељног аутономног субјекта супротставља слику невиног детета. Противстављање тих ривалских концепција, које не само да различито схватају и вреднују животне доби, већ и предлажу супротстављене смерове „сазревања”, прегледно би да се представи излагањем кључних момената Кантовог рада „Одговор на питање: шта је просвећеност?”, као узорног представника позива да човечанство самозаконодавно изађе из малолетства и ступи у просвећени рационални поредак, те Хаманове критике такве, чинило му се, охолости људског духа, критике која евоцира јеванђеоску чистоту детињства. Противпросветитељску слику одрастања сасвим ће заоштрити и не нужно религијски профилисати и интонирати поједини немачки
романтичари својим инсистирањем на „изворности”, те делови британског романтизма
својим упућивањима на детињство као и за „одрасле” инструктивну слику раја. У извођењу би требало да се покаже да та представа романтизма, ако по правилу и није дата у маниру класичне филозофске аргументације већ, како доличи, песничке слике, стога није мање ни унутар себе кохерентна нити аутоматски мање пожељна, већ можда пре представља коректив хипертрофираној рационалности просветитељства.The work primarily detects and exposes rival models of understanding of
growing up. In the rationalist tradition of the Enlightenment, marks and criteria of
the successfulness of maturation are the independence of thought, gaining advanced
and finally complete autonomy. Maturation is, especially in Kant, interwoven with
the pathos of freedom, resistance to tutors and every patronage, but also with pointing
out the responsibility, legality and purposefulness of the freedom that equally
resists enthusiastic enticement and the rhapsodic craze.
It is different, however, with the romantic and religious visions of growing up.
Being an adult here means exactly to overcome “children’s diseases”, to eradicate
“the sound and the fury”, to cure oneself from selfishness. Maturation is nothing
but a deviation from the illusion of self-sufficiency and self-creation and conciliation
with the insight that we are determined by units that rise above us. Those units,
much older, more fundamental and more important than us, are the structures we are
inexorably woven into and structures that primarily define us. Growing up means
gaining awareness about the respect that we owe to entities we inevitably depend on,
which enables and constitutes us, rather than defying it.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, this orientation had its
significant representatives. Haman’s evocation of the Gospel image of maturity as
sacred innocence is followed by the romantic redivinisation of sourcefulness, the affirmation
of innocence, joy, and the focus and investment in the image of the “child”.
Wordsworth, Blake and Shelley on the “island” side, and Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis
and Schleiermacher, while articulating and profiling German Romanticism,
celebrate childhood (and traits they attributed to it) in their writings. Immediacy, innocence,
joy, personified in the image of “the child”, become keywords that oppose
the methodical and graduate ascent, chain of argumentation, endless mediations, and
old-age-seriousness of the philosophy of the Enlightenment. The research passion of
the prudent adult who self-legislatively and responsibly builds him/herself through
his/her own history, gives way to the existence of compelling self-sufficiency of
childhood. Such an existence is not becoming, and such self-sufficiency is not only
a possibility, but is itself a complete realization of the self.
Through the motif of “the truth of the child”, characteristic for at least one
major stream of the movement, romanticism thus openly rebels against the “truth”
of the adult autonomous subject, which Enlightenment declared as its aim and password.
The uprising, as befitting, is not expressed by means of scientific or philosophical
elaboration, but by poetic images, imagination and unfettered textual play.
Therefore, however, it is not less coherent within itself, nor with less claims to the
validity of its concept of growing up. In any case, the Enlightenment vision of childhood
as a self-evident point of resistance, as well as addressee of the call to come out
of immaturity, even in Kant’s and, especially, in Coleridge’s time, is challenged with
an image according to which self-legislative exit from the minority and enlightened
rational order are not desirable notions of the state in which the already suspected
rebellion against all tutors ends. “The Child” is a symbol warning and therefore at
least an instructive corrective of the hypertrophied rationality
Philosophical counseling as a tool to enhance social well-being
No full textThe paper explores the capacity of philosophical counseling to contribute to the transformation of public service into a more effective and humane structure. The paper will present two typical cases of the organisation of the public service, those of Australia and Serbia, and explore the moral controveries in both. The paper will argue that philosophical counseling in the public administration enhances the role and profile of moral labelling, thus both introducing a moral perspective to the otherwise predominantly legalistic normative environment, and at the same time changing the incentives structure of public servants by attaching perceptible moral labels of their actions. In doing so, philosophical counseling has the capacity to enhance the professional ethics of public administration and ultimately positively influence the lives and social well being of individuals in society, who are clients of the public administration
Vernacular Multiculturalism: Hungarian Youth in Vojvodina
No full textThe paper combines the scholarly literature on multiculturalism, youth and ethnic identification in the context of postmodern identity politics. The aim of the paper is to discuss the applicability and the shortcomings of these three bodies of literature with regard to the case study of Hungarian youth in Vojvodina, Serbia. The paper presents the main points of the above-mentioned three theories in the context of the case study focusing on the ambiguity between on one hand fluid identities as explained by postmodern theories of identification and on the other hand the still very present ethno-national communal focus of young people. What this means for the case of Hungarian youth in Vojvodina is that while in official discourses of multiculturalism ethnic communities are seen and presented as actively interacting, in practice, social contacts often are reduced to individuals sharing ethnic belonging. After linking the implications of the outlined theoretical debates with some key topics hat have emerged from the interviews with young Hungarian people in a community in Serbia, the paper calls for an analytical framework that can account for the gap between the theory and practice of multiculturalism that can explain the process of identity construction among the informants of the research
Појам помирења: Дефиниција, елементи и проблеми
No full textУ теорији мировних студија можемо пронаћи више дефиниција помирења, које су у великој мери комплементарне, те стога овај појам није тешко дефинисати. Тешкоће се јављају накнадно, при покушајима операционализације помирења као концепта, посебно код одређивања његовог садржаја, елемената и исхода у различитим околностима. Овај рад настоји да представи теорије о помирењу, али и да испита шта се под тим одређењем подразумева у дефиницијама различитих аутора. Објаснићемо основне појмове и елементе који чине процес помирења, навешћемо најчешће теоријске приступе, али и истражити неке спорне аспекте – нарочито када се ради о дистинкцији између помирења након унутрашњих и међународних сукоба. Рад посебно обраћа пажњу на дело Луиса Kрајсберга (енг. Лоуис Kриесберг), једног од најзначајнијих теоретичара помирења, али не занемарује ни друге важне ауторе
Post-Yugoslav Film and Literature Production: an Alternative to Mainstream Political and Cultural Discourse
No full textDrawing upon studies which emphasized and conceptualized the existence of
political and cultural alternatives to the emerging nationalistic cultures in ex-Yugoslav
societies, this study aims at following those anti-nationalist artistic records in newly
formed post-Yugoslav states. By offering an overview to the contemporary artistic
production, namely literature and film, an exploration focuses on several concrete
cultural concepts, which should then function as tools for displaying the difference/
opposition between the mainstream culture and its alternative authors and artifacts.
The question of an exile, as existentially altered position, which also reframes the issue of one’s belonging, then question of the Other, crucial for establishing one’s identity, and finally a
notion of memory which is a space for reconsideration of both private and official
histories, problems of responsibility and guilt, are encompassing the way these post-
Yugoslav film and literature authors articulate their own artistic and political views.
Process of violent disintegration is a constitutive argument of this research, for it
necessitates understanding of three post-Yugoslav states which were at war (Croatia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia) as a single cultural/political space. By inevitably
touching upon Yugoslav cultural heritage this writing also seeks to distinguish
novel identities and concepts which have been emerging after the dissolution
