Ivo Pilar’s Stance on Racial Doctrine and Eugenics
Tomislav Jonjić
; Zagreb
Sažetak
During the four decades of public activity, Ivo Pilar was defamed, suspected for and accused of many things, but neither contemporaries nor his political opponents ever reproached him for supporting the racial doctrine, advocating the violent and undemocratic principles of struggle or for his affinity for racist concepts. Only after the break-up of Yugoslavia have there been a number of authors who think Pilar was one of the intellectual creators of the undemocratic and racial ideology that supposedly used eugenic methods in order to achieve its objectives. In this paper, the author shows what the critics of Pilar’s work have in common why their views are erroneous and why Pilar’s political and scientific engagement should be contextualized and viewed as a reaction and response to «Serbo-Croatianism« and Yugoslavism the only racial concept in the Croatian lands that had been consistently brought up and seriously enforced until Pilar’s death.
