On the Figure and Work of Ante Pažanin – Philosopher and Professor

Hrvoje Jurić ; University of Zagreb, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The intention of this paper is to sketch a portrait of Ante Pažanin as a philosopher, researcher and author, as well as a professor, translator and public servant, i.e. to speak not only about his work but also his figure. In this sense, the paper relies more on reminiscences on Pažanin’s lecturing activities than on research of his philosophical works, although the key strongholds of his philosophy (ethical and political issues of modern world, European philosophical and cultural heritage, phenomenology and hermeneutics) are emphasised. It is concluded that the main characteristic of Pažanin’s work – live dialogue with contemporary thinkers as well as those of the past times, who also became contemporary by virtue of his approach – was permanently present in his professorial activities.
