Freedom and Alienation. On Thought of Gajo Petrović

Gracijano Kalebić ; Dugi Rat, Croatia

Abstract

The work of Gajo Petrović is at the very top of the 20th century European philosophy. He is one of the most important and the best known Croatian philosophers. The work of Gajo Petrović is extremely wide. It starts with ontology and anthropology, stretching over logic to historical philosophy and history of philosophy. He wrote about some of the most important contemporary philosophers (especially Martin Heidegger) but the basic point in Petrović’s work is the thoughts of Karl Marx. He analysed Marx’s heritage and very successfully developed and implemented it in own particular metaphilosophical conception, contributing to solving some of the basic issues of the modern human being like freedom, alienation, selfalienation and the possibility of authentic human being.
