Sažetak
Croatian politician and intellectual professor Zdravko Tomac,
a well known member of the former SKH, founder of the SDP, vicepresident
of the Government of Democratic Unity and member
of parliament, has recently written, along with numerous sociopolitical
studies, two books about himself and his viewpoints. The
author deals exactly with that. He is especially interested in his
ethical and religious visions. The facts are indicative, especially
Tomac’s “showdown” with himself, “with the absence of God in his
soul”, in which process we get to know how an atheist has become
a believer. “I have intuitively and rationally realized the greatness
of faith and need for it”, he says. “I have understood that it is man’s
salvation and riddle-solving of the meaning of life and absurdity of
life”. This is the central topic of this contribution, but not the only
one. Many other things are associated with this. The author follows
and reveals Tomac’s career. Therefore the reader gets acquainted
with not only the spiritual metanoia of a prominent intellectual but
also with his reprehensions of the communist regime, and other
totalitarian ideologies that, as professor Tomac concludes, in their
fight “against God” inevitably take a turn “against man”.
