Sažetak
While Pavao Vuk-Pavlović (1894 – 1976) had been overlooked during the Yugoslav Communist regime, the interest in his life and philosophy has remained steadfast since Croatian independence. The author recounts dialogues with his father about people and events that significantly impacted his father’s life and creative pursuits. Despite achieving international success between the two World Wars and being elected a corresponding member of the Yugoslav Academy of Science and Arts at the age of 34, his career at the University of Zagreb stalled at the rank of assistant professor. The Axis-affiliated regime during World War II removed him from the University and revoked his Academy membership. After World War II, he returned to the University, but was not reinstated to the membership of the Academy. Forceful insistence of communist students on teaching Marxism exclusively led to Vuk-Pavlović’s resignation from the University in 1947. Among the well-known aspects of Vuk-Pavlović’s life, the text reveals the role of his Jewish heritage, conflict with the leftist writer and intellectual Miroslav Krleža, his stance towards the Croatian Spring of 1971, and his final personally and creatively successful years in Skopje, Macedonia. A guiding principle defined Vuk-Pavlović’s life: he firmly believed that living his philosophy was essential for its value.
