Abstract

The article speaks of the Croatian Jesuits' contribution in marking the „Year of Roger Boskovich“ (2011) in which the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus played a leading role, as is to be expected due to the nature of the subject matter. Thus a DVD, produced for the occasion in Croatian as well as in the English version, was made available prior to the opening ceremonies. Moreover, a large part of the cultural-scientific programme at the national celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Croatian scientist in the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall in Zagreb on May 17, 2011 was proposed by Jesuits and their co-workers, all of whom participated in the programme. Also, the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus co-organized two international scientific symposia or rather gatherings. The first was held at the faculty itself on November 4, 2011 under the title „The Philosophy of Joseph Roger Boskovich.“ The second scientific-cultural gathering was held on December 10, 2011 at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and was titled „Simposio Scientifico Internazionale. Padre Ruđer Josip Bošković: cultore della verità". Alongside the gathering, the exhibition “Ruđer Bošković e il Collegio Romano” was also organized, and a memorial plaque honouring him was installed inside the university itself. The symposium ended with a solemn Mass at the Croatian Church of St. Jerome and was presided over by the Most Eminent Cardinal Josip Bozanić, Archbishop of Zagreb. The final section of the article ennumerates other contributions made by Jesuits and their co-workers in marking the“Year of Roger Boskovich.”
