Abstract
The article deals with some conceptions of logic in Croatia in the first half of the twentieth century, which were developing simultaneously, and also in opposition to the tradition continuing from F. pl. Marković to Petras and Filipović. The nineteenth-century formalism continues in Basariček (Kratka logika, 1911), while S. Matičević develops a ,'positivistic« objectivism (Zur Grundlegung der Logik, 1909.) The ontological realism was developed, in the scholastic tradition, by K. Grimm (Indukcija, 1941.) An important feature common to all the three cases is the rejection of both the psychologism and activism (»actualism.«) Matičević went farthest in that direction, being of the opinion that the thinking subject only passive1y pictures the object, allowing for a thinking activity to take place as little as it is least possible. The activity moment is more emphasized in Grimm, which is manifest not only in his accepting analytic judgements (as opposed to Matičević.) but exactly in his explanation of the »surpius« in the synthetic judgements that are attained through induction.
