Dragica Vranjić-Golub ; Leksikografski zavod »Miroslav Krleža«, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The encyclopedic and lexicon system of philosophical thought includes the national into the international philosophical dialog. Comparing the differences between the traditional and the contemporary, man collects and evaluates the encyclopedic compilation of knowledge. Philosophical reflection relies upon the totality of the relationships with other knowledges. The paradox of modern encyclopedism is evident in the technological-industrial civilization, as a menacing withdrawal from knowledge and the humane and from the connection with the whole. The authoress analyzes the depiction of philosophy in the following lexicons and encyclopedias published by the Lexicographic Institute »Miroslav Krleža«: Croatian Biographical Lexicon, General Lexicon, The Croatian Encyclopedia, General Encyclopaedia.
