NIKODIM TISMANSKI IN PRINCE LAZAR’S MISSION IN CONSTANTINOPLE
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAIn the year when eight centuries of the independence of the Serbian Orthodox Church is being celebrated, the issue of the concept of autocephaly in the liturgical-canonical context is actualized, through consideration of numerous events and processes from turbulent history. One of the most important processes was the activity of Prince Lazar, with the assistance of the Mount Athos monks, aimed at reconciliation of the Serbian and the Constantinople Patriarchates. The key for the success of Prince Lazar’s Constantinople mission was his spiritual closeness to the Mount Athos monks, Sinaits and Hesychasts, which in his time occupied some of the key positions in the Constantinople and Bulgarian churches and held important chairs in Orthodox institutions in the Balkans. Although an old man Isaija Serski-Hilandarac is mentioned as the main spiritus movens of this mission of great importance, the presence of Nikodim Tismanski, a “words interpreter”, was also significant. His role in the Orthodox church of the second half of the 14th century was researched not only based on the mentioned activities for the overcome of the schism, but in the foundation of numerous monasteries either in the feudal states of Prince Lazar (Vratna, Manastirica) or in the Romanian lands (Vodica, Tisman). Thus, the solution of this canonical problem has provided a framework for research of church life in the second half of the 14th century.
THE HUMANISTIC ASPECTS OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE TREATISES OF FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAThe treatises on architecture by Francesco di Giorgio Martini occupy an important place in the Renaissance thought and they place him deservingly among the most important artists, architects and theorists of his time. They reflected the need to render both humanism and the ways of its realization as accurately measured processes, while architecture itself was interpreted from functional, social and artistic points of view.The important questions of humanism in architecture, the relations between the anatomy of a city, its structures and the man were the focal points of Martini’s architectural theory. They were deeply woven into the physiognomy of the Renaissance humanism and into architecture as an autonomous creative discipline. Thus, the thoughts about the nature of Man and about the role of architecture in the world of Renaissance,were actualized in his treatises: the world that was to be measured according to Man. It launched the humanistic revitalization of spiritimminent to Man, who in his very spirituality found a way to elevate the corporeal to the godly, and to express it in art and architecture.Martini’s architectural principles understood the humanist ideal of the beauty of Man, which introduced his corporeality into the structural and functional aspects of architecture, in proportionality of design,as well as in the wider idea of humanization of architecture, which formulated humanism after the image of a dignified man. Conscious of social circumstances, in his architectural thought he set the path for the development of urban landscape. With humanization of social space, he has laid the basic principles of the socially sensible urbanistic and architectural practices. These ideas demonstrated a tendency to widen the field of implications and meanings. Thus, it may rightly be concluded that Martini’s treatises on architecture have deepened the Renaissance architectural thought, whose universality and specificity were confirmed by the relationship between creativity and the character of the humanistic tradition.
ISAIAH BERLIN’S HISTORY OF IDEAS AND IMMANUEL KANT’S PHILOSOPHY
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAIn this article, we will answer the following questions: How did Immanuel Kant’s philosophy influence Isaiah Berlin’s philosophical analysis? Was it just in the methodological sense of the term? How did Isaiah Berlin integrate some of the crucial Kant’s standpoints? What are the similarities between these two thinkers? What are the main critical arguments Berlin directed at Kant’s philosophy? It turns out that there is a strong philosophical connection between the two thinkers and that the philosophical analysis of the history of ideas in Isaiah Berlin’s works owes very much to the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.
ISAIAH BERLIN’S HISTORY OF IDEAS AND IMMANUEL KANT’S PHILOSOPHY
/in Studies /by Kcs21blAAИсторија народа се огледа и у његовим културно-историјским ресурсима. Сакрални споменици Србије представљају данас неизоставан атрактивни фактор и важан сегмент специфичног облика туристичког и културног путовања, који се назива верски туризам. Неке од најзначајнијих верских дестинација сасвојим неисцрпним сакралним благом у свету, бележе веома значајан девизни прилив остварен од туризма. Томе доприноси културно наслеђе као један од најважнијих туристичких мотива, којем стреми велики број туриста у свету, и представља значајан потенцијал одрживог развоја туризма. Република Србија развој туризма базира између осталог и на валоризацији културно-историјске баштине, међу којима манастири и цркве заузимају значајно место. Српска православна црква располаже великим бројем објеката, који у националним и међународним оквирима имају важну историјску, културну и верску вредност. Као најзначајнији сакрални објекти могу да се издвоје манастири рашке, моравске и српско-византијске школе, али и фрушкогорски и овчарско-кабларски. У овом раду сагледаће се вредности појединих сакралних грађевина, насталих као задужбине породице Немањића. Оне и у години обележавања 800 година аутокефалности Српске православне цркве, представљају неискоришћене ресурсе за развој туризма Србије.
