Intial Attempts at Constituting Croatian Philosophical Terminology

Damir Barbarić ; Institut za filozofiju, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The article refers, documents and comments on the attempts to constitute technical philosophical terminology in Croatian philosophy from mid-nineteenth century to Franjo Marković's »Esthetics«.
At the beginning of the article, there is a concise account of the discussion led in the first issues of »Zagrebački katolički list« (»The Catholic Journal of Zagreb«) about the principal questions of Croatian philosophical terminology. There follows a briefly reviewed list of Croatian philosophical terms in the early theological-philosophical works written by Franjo Rački and Vilheim Švelec in the treatise »Sidro mudroslovja« (»The Anchor of Philosophy«). The Greek, Latin or German original is listed along the Croatian translation wherever possible.
Finally, on the basis of the description of Vinko Pacel and Franjo Marković's essential views on the issues concerning the relation between language and thought in general, and on the issue of technical philosophical terminology in Croatian, the author comments on the appended list of the main terminological solutions proposed by them.
