Project Director dr. sc. Pavo Barišić

Summary:
This project has as its theme the connection between practical philosophy and aesthetics, especially with regard to Croatian philosophy in the first half of the 20th century and the reception of Croatian philosophers from that period in the world at large. Taking as a point of departure axiological discourse in the field of practical philosophy in Croatia during the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, especially as represented in the work of Pavao Vuk Pavlović and Vladimir Filipović, the problems of value, virtue and freedom, as well as the central question of the foundation of practical philosophy, are to be considered. With respect to the connection between practical philosophy and aesthetics, research on this topic focuses on Croatian neoscholastic philosophy in the first half of the 20th century.
