CRITICAL DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF “SERBIAN PHILOSOPHY”

Text topic: Serbian Philosophic Culture

Text author: Маринко Лолић

The author discusses the critical definition of the concept of “Serbian Philosophy” by Slobodan Žunjić, who, in his basic research of Serbian philosophy based on a new methodological approach, substantially revises results of previous studies of domestic philosophical heritage. Significance of Žunić’s philosophical works, in author’s opinion, does not only lie in a more complete view of the development of Serbian philosophy, but also in the precise philosophical concepts which put a sharp focus on the different stages of development of the Serbian philosophy over a much longer period than so far known. The author especially analyzes Žunić’s concepts of criticism in Philosophy of Serbs, Philosophy in the Republic of Serbia, and suggests arguments why Žunić insists on using the term “Serbian philosophy.”
