A Return to the Croatian Axiological-Pedagogical Heritage

Ante Vukasović ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The period of communist rule left a moral wasteland behind. The basic human values were devalued. There were crises in all the segments of social life. They became a mark of the times we live in. And we lived in a time - as V. Filipović put it - in which the forms of life praxis were realized not only disregarding the idea of humanity, but - to everyone's horror - against the idea of humanity. Therefore, after the political change and the accomplishment of independence, the Croatian people is looking for the ways of economic and spiritual renewal, moral and educational change, a reaffirmation of values.
Wishing that these efforts be as efficient as possible, the author discusses the rich Croatian pedagogical-axiological heritage. Analyzing S. Matičević's and S. Pataki's numerous works of philosophical and cultural inclination, S. Zimmermann's ethical optimism, P. Vuk-Pavlović's axiologically oriented philosophy of education, the idea of humanity as the educational ideal in the works off. Filipović- the author shows that Croatian philosophical and pedagogical thought between the World Wars was very fruitful and inspirative. This is our positive philosophical-pedagogical tradition. Overcoming the crisis requires a return to these achievements. The analyzed works of S. Matičević, S. Pataki, E Zimmermann, P. Vuk-Pavlović and V. Filipović can encourage the moral and educational change.
