Vlado Gotovac - Idiot of Eternity
Jasna Ćurković
Sažetak
From the theological point of view, the article attempts, in the comprehensive literary work of the Croatian writer, philosopher and public worker, Vlado Gotovac, to observe and critically evaluate one of the important components of his work: the dimension of transcendentality. Key places, i.e. strongholds of his reflective world are Eternity, Love, Freedom, Individual, Death. These are, however, only fragments of his fragmented notes. Fragmentarity is one of the basic characteristics of his entire work. Although in his suffered and interrupted life, in the totalitarian system of one-mindedness, he was socially engaged, he cared about the truth in the first place, and then about the society.
His loneliness was an unavoidable destiny. Vlado Gotovac was an amateur of Eternity and its greatest admirer. This expressive feature in him was little emphasised. If anyone pored in reading his work, he will discover a person who did not recede in front of challenges of life of the (totalitarian) time. A person who sheltered in Eternity and the hope of victory. A person who found in Eternity reasons for life and activity, and in himself modes to renew the world. He primarily cares about how to transform his inner self, and then how to change social structures. He wrote that „the man changes only that he has changed in himself“ (Three cases).
